Parkrun 22nd February 2020

Norwich 500!

There were celebrations at Eaton Park to mark the 500th event of the Norwich parkrun.

The first Norwich parkrun was launched on 7th, August, 2010 with 117 runners.

It took a further three weeks before news of this new running event reached Dereham and the first Dereham Runner lined up in Eaton Park.

I am grateful to the pioneers who set up the Norwich parkrun ten years ago and sowed the seeds for the future development of parkrun in Norfolk.

Special thanks must go to the founders which include Richard Polly, Carla Oxbury, Nick Clarke and Gary Penn.
