With great weather and Covid restrictions now being relaxed, it is time for people to run around the lake…and like it.

Parkrun, which has been taking place for several years went into hibernation for most of 2020 but is now back to the delight of everyone involved.

More than 200 people, a lot of young people, some grandparents with their grandkids, families, some pushing prams and some with dogs all took part in a 5km run, a bit over two laps of Victoria Lake.

The people running were all happy to be getting back into these free weekly events and look forward to them being able to continue on into the future as we get back to normal.
