Last weekend was a special occasion for the Wepre parkrun as it celebrated it\u2019s 100<sup>th<\/sup> event, with participants wearing orange in support of Team Jenson \u2013 raising awareness of Muscular Dystrophy. The turn-out was brilliant, with 184 finishers, one of the highest totals ever for the Wepre parkrun. This was partly because it was the first dry Saturday morning for many weeks, but largely because so many parkrunners turned out dressed in orange to support Team Jenson and \u201cGo Orange for Muscular Dystrophy\u201d.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-4357 alignright\" style=\"border-style: none; margin: 8px 0px; outline: #72777c solid 1px; height: 308px; text-align: left; color: #292b2c; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Roboto Condensed,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: middle; white-space: normal; max-width: 893.05px; box-sizing: border-box; orphans: 2; float: right; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent;\" src=\"https:\/\/irun.wales\/app\/uploads\/Wepre-parkrun-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Rob Mackey, Event Director for Wepre parkrun said \u201c<strong><i>Wepre parkrun is always fun, but today was special. The whole atmosphere was buzzing! Apart from the 184 runners, joggers and walkers we had 25 volunteers marshalling on the course and working on the finish to record times and positions.
