Run Reports are published each week on the majority of all the individual<br />
parkrun websites and is one of the weekly parkrun volunteer roles. Here is<br />
my run report from our recent Upton House parkrun. Roger Cross (Ed)<br />
Event #40 – Poole Runners Takeover. DFYB!<br />
Posted on March 19, <strong>2018</strong> by uptonhouseoffice<br />
Many thanks to Poole Runner, Roger Cross, who has authored this week's<br />
run report.<br />
In the very early days of parkrun it was somewhat frowned upon for running<br />
club vests to be worn, apparently through the fear of making the free,<br />
weekly, 5k timed run appear too competitive, and possibly deter non club<br />
runners taking part. Thankfully, that has now all changed and rightly so, as<br />
club members are made up of all abilities, ages, experience and aspirations.<br />
Running club vests are now a common sight at all parkruns.<br />
The blue and white colours of my own club, POOLE RUNNERS, were very<br />
evident at today’s 40 th Upton House parkrun, for the latest club<br />
‘takeover’. The club memo asked for those running & pacing to wear their<br />
POOLE RUNNERS club vests, however, the beginning of ‘Beast from the East<br />
part two’ meant club hoodies, jackets, multiple layers, gloves, hats etc. were<br />
very much in evidence.<br />
