Beginners Parkrun Looking at the photos on facebook it looked like a lovely crisp Saturday morning on the Heath for the Beginners parkrun. Well done to all those who did their first 5km event and hopefully more (and warmer) to follow. Ultra Man Well done to Vincent Guillaume for completing the 73km ultra in Saint-Etienne, a huge effort.   Marathon Man Also a great effort from Eamon Byrne at the weekend, who completed two marathons within 48 hours. Well done Eamon. Calendar Here's whats happening over the next few weeks other than our usual Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday runs. You can find our full calendar on the website.
