Anyone fancy a bit of nostalgia? It’s our canine parkrun mini league round 3 this Saturday at Redcar parkrun and a chance to do the original parkrun route there to celebrate their 500th parkrun. All welcome with or without a 4 legged friend 🏃🏻🏃‍♀️🐾💚💙 Redcar parkrun On the 20th of May, to celebrate our 500th parkrun at Redcar, we will be running the original route. For those of you that remember it, we started on the straight near the playpark, and at John's corner, we turned up towards the lake. On most Saturdays you would have seen Laurie on his corner before you turned left you head round the lake and over the two bridges. Left as you came off the 2nd bridge towards the boathouse and round the lake…
