We hope to see you back soon, and often, William! And on a rare day, we had no out-of-town guests … We welcomed 40 parkrunners, with one First Timer – William Cavanaugh. And only a threat of liquid sunshine at race time. We’d love to hear from you folks! If you’d like to volunteer (it’s super duper fun) or have some pictures from the week’s parkrun, go ahead and shoot us an email at was a great winter day for a run in the nation’s capital. Thanks a million to this week’s volunteers, Stephanie Coomes, Christine Hackman, Raj Johnson, Jason Legum, Tim Ramsey, Henry and Claire Wigglesworth and Julia Figueredo. Way to go! We had eight personal bests today! Congratulations to Allan Dosik, Claire O’Connor, Jane Jamieson, April Cisneros, Vince Sprouls, Steven Cooper, and Ryan Smith (who achieved second place overall!). The first person in the 11-14 year old bracket was Olivia Woitach, followed closely by Scarlet Mann, a first timer. The first male and first finisher was Jason Sprouls, while Claire Wigglesworth was the first female finisher and came in third place overall. We had visitors all the way from Poland, Paweł and Natalia Szlarb: thanks so much for coming out to run with us and make sure to drop by when you’re in the area again! This week, we had 44 runners, 10 of which were first timers! We all hope you’ll join us next week. Despite the promises of rain for yesterday’s run, everyone was glad for the burst of sunshine.
