Southwick Country parkrun Co Event Director and Regional Ambassador, Life Member Avon Valley Runners and Westbury Wheelers. Fiona Price Catering Partner.
Volunteer of the week goes to Molly Braham for celebrating her 50th milestone by organising loads of pacers from @AvonValleyRun to help our parkrunners reach their goals.
Molly wins the much sought after breakfast voucher from The New Leaf Cafe at Trowbridge Garden Centre
We thank our dedicated volunteers who were willing to make the late assessment this morning, but its very obviously too breezy out there, to hold our event this morning. Stay safe, and see you all next week 😊
Fundraising appeal: Historically our defib has been shared with Hope Nature Centre. It now needs replacing and costs mean its worth us getting our own. Looking to raise £860, which will buy us the best defib and custom fit kit available (Heartsein).

"The Gong" is back! We hang the Gong in a nearby tree at the finish area for people to hit if they have something to celebrate. The Gong is a memorial Gong to those dearly departed upon it and is back from the engravers with the name of Sara Robert.
AVR were at the @LondonMarathon today and did us very proud. 💛💚
Congrats to Michael, Chris, Ali, Liz, Diane, Jen, Emily, Cliff, Daren, Fiona, Helen and Rebecca who pounded the streets of the capital but also to Terri and Nicola who got up at 4am to complete their virtual run!
