MY INTRODUCTION TO PARKRUN - BILLERICAY STYLE

Mandy and Gerald Miles - seasoned park run enthusiasts

Although many Billericay folk are used to meeting in Lake Meadows throughout the week for a stroll or a spot of bowls - it was a revelation this morning to meet - not just the dozen or so friends who exercise with me on Thursdays - but literally hundreds of folk of all ages who turn up, so I am told - every Saturday morning at 9am to take part in this great 'Parkrun'.  And it wasn't just some of my neighbours and friends whom I snapped, but some keen exercisers who had travelled from various parts of the UK to join the Billericay enthusiasts. Terribly impressed with this super couple who had driven from Brighton to our town to take part.  More research coming up.
