Eager athletes take on 5km at the Standerton parkrun
A total of 19 runners recorded their personal best times at the 60th event.
Participants were ready to go in no uncertain terms at the Standerton parkrun at the River Park on 13 April.
Despite a rolling mist and rain the previous evening, they enthusiastically joined in the warm-up exercises.
One young girl laughingly acknowledged that balancing on one leg is not as easy at it seems.
Altogether 87 athletes were in attendance with 17 volunteers dutifully ensuring their safety at some difficult spots.
A total of five first-timers decided to take on the 5km and 19 runners recorded their personal best times at the 60th event.
