Thankfully, it was all systems go once again this week as Merthyrs Monday Movers<\/a> passed the Run Wales relay baton over to First Strides<\/a><\/a> at Bryn Bach parkrun<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Celebration relay provides all Run Wales registered groups<\/a> with a tremendous opportunity to showcase their group, sharing information about their activities and encouraging more people to participate in social running outside of their regular weekly parkrun.  We are encouraging groups to support their local parkrun by offering to volunteer as well as run, jog or walk at the relay events.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

22\/47: Celebration Relay Run Report – Bryn Bach parkrun <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On January 28th the Run Wales relay baton landed in Parc Bryn Bach<\/a> after a hop, skip and a jump, by-passing Merthyr parkrun<\/a>, for now, because of the ice last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Merthyr’s Monday Movers (Natalie and Simon) kindly brought the baton over the Heads of the Valleys to pass on to First Strides<\/a>, the social running leg (boom boom) of Parc Bryn Bach Running Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bryn Bach parkrun<\/a> is a two and a bit lap of the beautiful lake that was more like a big sheet of ice on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The baton got a warm welcome from Lee, run director and the strong team of high viz hero\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the baton did it\u2019s two and a bit laps, avoiding the Canadian Geese, passing the park, the cafe, the beautiful Tredegar landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There was, literally, because of the log burner in the centre, a warm welcome in the cafe after where we were all treated to cupcakes that were in honour of a Parc Bryn Bach Running Club<\/a> member doing his 100th parkrun! Congratulations and thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All in all, a very lovely morning for the baton! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

This week 140 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 19 were first timers and 17 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 16 different clubs took part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was made possible by 15 fabulous volunteers:

Lee AHERNE \u2022 Gareth WILLIAMS \u2022 Stephen WILLIAMS \u2022 Wayne CANIFF \u2022 Stacey KNIGHT \u2022 Neil BEYNON \u2022 Cyril WILLIAMS \u2022 Laura HIRE \u2022 Andrew Clive LAWRENCE \u2022 Neil ADAMS \u2022 Martyn POWELL \u2022 Karl COUGHLIN \u2022 Alison HOLLAND \u2022 Bethan KILBY \u2022 Rose KILBY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
