TWO PARKRUNS LINED UP
Parkruns have been among the success stories throughout Britain over the past couple of years, with thousands turning out for the 5k events every Saturday morning.
Until now North Wales has been one of the few regions without a Parkrun of its own. That, however, is about to change with two events lined up.
Penrhyn Castle, Bangor, will be one of the venues while local clubs are also hoping to hold weekly sessions along the cycle path at Deganwy.
Entry to the events is free and in other parts of the country they attract not only beginners but serious athletes who aim to improve their 5k times each week.
Organising the weekly events is a huge commitment but as they catch on it is hoped that they become self-sustainable as more volunteers come forward.
