That's over 14,000 kilometres run
A Northamptonshire parkrun has celebrated its 100th edition with a fancy dress run. Hundreds of people took part in the landmark Watermeadows Parkrun in Towcester dressed as their favourite superhero.
The parkrun takes place every Saturday at 9am after the Watermeadows was purchased from the Easton Neston estate in 2009 by the local authority. It was opened for public use and has since evolved from a grazing field into a busy public open space.Lorayne Macfarlane, the Race Director, said the addition of the footpath by the council last year brought more consistent numbers and made the run accessible to wheelchair users and those with children in prams.
"Whether you are volunteering, or taking part in the event itself, it is such a rewarding way to start your weekend!" "Not only does this help town centre businesses by giving people yet more reasons to visit Towcester, but it is also providing those who do not wish to run alone with a vibrant and attractive choice.
