With multiple layers and trusted thermal underwear I made my way to my<br />
marshal point where a puzzled dog walker asked me ‘surely it’s too cold to<br />
run this morning!?’ I explained parkrunners were a very hardy bunch! Once<br />
everyone had passed my marshal point, I made my way back to the finish<br />
area, and heard the tones of some Irish music which had been organised by<br />
our new club chairman on request of today’s run director. Rumour has it, the<br />
finish area volunteers kept themselves warm with their own version of the<br />
River Dance and even our tail walker crossed the line whilst doing her own<br />
version of an Irish jig. What better way to start St Patrick’s Day!<br />
Without volunteers, parkruns could not take place and today saw the largest<br />
number of volunteers to date at Upton House parkrun with at least 56<br />
volunteers, a large percentage of which were POOLE RUNNERS members<br />
supported by other regular volunteers and the Upton House core team,<br />
resulting in a real buzzing atmosphere at the run briefing area.<br />
