Sure it's easy to stay in bed on a rainy morning, but why would we do that when we could spend time with you? We had 13 weather warriors today (3 first timers). No PBs, but an excellent array of puddles! Thank you volunteers - we love you more than all the raindrops that fell on you!

Event #125 last weekend saw 10 brave runners and walkers. Brave because it was post-Halloween, pre-time change AND because of the headwind and muck! Each of them saw it through, including our tourists from the West Country, UK. Thanks for a lovely time all and much gratitude to the volunteers!

🪵 The logs have been moved and there’s a passable corridor! Let’s get back to the good stuff, friends. We’re collecting volunteers for Saturday, October 25; let us know if you can lend a hand! 👋

Rumour has it the town has moved a log-pile adjacent to the construction, so we might have a functioning corridor… 👀 We’ll check it out this weekend to see if it’s passable, but remain on hiatus for tomorrow! Can’t wait to see you all again! 🤞

The good news: Construction is underway on the new pump track. The not good news: Construction is active and the fencing blocks the path, so we remain on pause. No parkrun this weekend, but we hope everyone has a lovely long weekend with their favourite people! ❤️🍂

🚫Victoria parkrun, Truro will be closed this Sat., Oct. 4th! 🦺 Construction fencing is in place. There is a narrow strip of grass where you can go around the fencing, but in the interest of safety and allowing the crew to get their work underway, we are going to hit pause. Thanks for understanding!

📢 Update: Construction start date is unclear & project is est. to take 2-3 weeks. Given the labour of creating a new course, & the short duration of the project, we’ll stay as-is. Will cancel when we have to (bear with us). But let’s plan as if we have a lovely Saturday ahead, because we well might!

PSA: Due to imminent construction happening near our start/finish line, we need to create a new parkrun plan. This will require on-going communication with both the Park Dept. & parkrun HQ. Appreciate your patience while we sort things out. Will let you know the plan as soon as we have one!
