Berwick Springs parkrun #611 Run Report

What a fantastic morning at Berwick Springs parkrun, with 213 finishers joining us for a run, walk and plenty of parkrun fun!

A big thank you to Athlete's Foot! 👟

A huge thank you to Athlete's Foot for coming down today, providing post-run and walk refreshments, and giving our community the opportunity to test out some new shoes for parkrun. Participants were able to try out both Puma and Brooks shoes, and it was fantastic to see so many people giving them a test run around the lake!

The good news is that Athlete's Foot will be back in two weeks' time. So, if you missed out today, make sure you come down for our Pacer Week, where you can try a different pair of shoes while getting paced towards your parkrun goal!
