359 people finished today but one regular runner didn’t make to the finish funnel as on the second lap he felt unwell and dropped to the grass, immediately the Parkwalker volunteer was just behind him & stopped to assist. Immediately she rang the Event Director who sprinted to the far end of the course with an off duty paramedic who’d just finished his parkrun. Despite the runner wanting to continue it was agreed as a precaution to take him to hospital. As tailwalker we were able to continue leaving the scene under control to report back to the acting ED . Thank goodness we don’t have too many incidents like this but it’s proof that when the unexpected happens Catton Parkrun can react swiftly starting with Volunteers & other wonderful runners looking out for each other NB he was taken to hospital for test & all is ok
