We believe running should be for everyone. There should be no barriers, no matter your age, no matter your ability.

We don't care how fast you run, we just want to share the joy and freedom of running together with you.

We know so many people who have said their lives have been transformed by running. But it can be hard to begin, to have the courage to take those first few steps, to push your body to its limits. 10 weeks ago, we had a new cohort of people taking part in Couch to 5k, and this morning we shared in their success. Well done to all our graduates - this is just the beginning and we look forward to sharing your running journey together.

Thank you to the leaders who have helped with C25k (especially Nicky and Kate) and also to our runners who have who have assisted in the sessions - too many to mention, but in particular Lorraine, Beth, Emily, Maddy, Nic and Anna who have been there most nights.

Thank you to Chris Merrick and all the staff at Attfield's Farm Shop and Country Kitchen for another excellent celebratory breakfast.

And finally, thank you especially to all our runners who gave up their time this morning to volunteer at parkrun. Squirrels is what it is, because of you.
