After several cancellations due to adverse weather conditions Bramley parkrun finally celebrated its 400th event on Saturday, 1 February.
38 volunteers ensured that the 255 finishers were supported with cheering and clapping.
They had nine people who did their first-ever event and 32 parkrun tourists. Visitors from Brighouse, Manchester, Pocklington and Ramsbottom came to Bramley Park, with 26 running clubs also represented.
21 people gained a personal parkrun best, including first finisher Rochelle Ramsden who broke the Bramley female record by 10 seconds at 18 minutes 14 seconds.
Several finishers completed different milestones including:-
- Ayden Wilkes and Joe Ellis on completing their 25th parkrun;
- Cassie Jackson-Mills on completing her 50th milestone;
- Gini Knight who completed her 100th Volunteer milestone.
A celebration cake, cookies and fruit were at the end for volunteers and finishers.
The team of volunteers are looking forward to celebrating their 10th birthday in June.
