The Colby parkrun has surpassed the 200-event mark and averages almost 100 runners per week!<\/p>\n<p>The Colby parkrun played host to the inspiration Helen Lewis who ran her 100th parkrun event last weekend (22nd July). Three years ago, Helen suffered a cardiac arrest and her running career looked to be in doubt. However, she fought back and cites the parkrun as a major factor in inspiring her to get her trainers back on and get running again. Helen praised the volunteers and fellow parkrunners at the Colby parkrun saying &#8220;Everyone here at <span class=\"highlightNode\">Colby Parkrun<\/span>, whether volunteer or runner, is so welcoming, supportive and encouraging. I wanted to take this chance to thank you all &#8211; thank you all one hundred times!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Colby parkrun\u00a0is a 3 lap undulating course along trail paths through the meadow and woodlands. The terrain is mostly gravel tracks but crosses some compact earth and grass, so can accumulate puddles after period of rain. The Colby parkrun relies on it\u2019s hard-working and dedicated group of volunteers who help set-up the event and allow it to run smoothly for all parkrunners every weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Every week, volunteers, spectators and runners at the Colby parkrun grab a post-run coffee at the Colby Woodland Garden tearoom!<\/p>\n<p>To read more about the Colby parkrun, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkrun.org.uk\/colby\/course\/\">here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To get involved with a parkrun near you, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkrun.org.uk\/\">here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colby parkrun Number of events &#8211; 212 Average number of runners per week &#8211; 98 Total number of runners &#8211; 5,147 Number of personal bests &#8211; 3,925 Biggest Attendance &#8211; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":4722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
