390 people plus supports and Volunteers hurried to the park today, after 4 weeks away, we welcomed back our coffee fixers Carey’s coffee bar. 3rd week with our new finish line, a few tweaks and we think it’s perfect. A few first timers & a number of tourists joined us this week. RD Robins told us about one of our regular running community buddies Melissa Baker who sadly passed away a few months ago, family had some pin bows in her memory to wear for next weeks Run Norwich & our next parkrun. Well done everyone xx

We attended an area of Mousehold Heath where some bracken and brambles had already been cut back, on the old St William's Chapel site.

We got the rakes and pitch forks out, and placed all the greenery on the drag mats, before doing multiple trips to pile them up on another area of the heath.

The evening was finished with a game of Molkky, which Katy brought with her.

2nd week and our new finish line in play, really worked well. 351 people attended and it was perfect weather, cooler than of late. Well done everyone

We welcomed Ellen to her first GoodGym session.

We had a nice walk around the city while cleaning any GoGoSafari sculptures that we came across.

Today at Catton Parkrun we were remembering a regular runner/volunteer Anne-Marie on what would have been her 68th birthday. Her family asked us to celebrate her life by wearing pink or red, & wear her memorial sticker. Also present were fund raisers from our local Hospice, Priscilla Bacon Lodge where Anne-Marie spend her last weeks being cared for by them. 455 people turned up today, plenty of tourists including from Bushy Park (our birthplace) and 3 first timers. Due to ongoing groundwork’s around our usual finish line, our core team worked tirelessly to workout a new finish. They only found out last evening, but did a fantastic job, it worked well until a mini disaster when the finish tokens were dropped & for a short while there was a funnel build up. In true Catton spirit, the RD & volunteers rallied round & normal service was resumed. As Timekeepers we had to adapt our finish line slightly but all went well & we managed to stay in sync. Anne-Marie family attending today were overwhelmed with the turnout & lots of money was raised in her memory & for her chosen charity. Happy heavenly birthday Anne-Marie

We had a pleasant evening of Bingo with the tenants at Dell Rose Court.
