Back to @rtwparkrun.bsky.social after a double tourism weekend in Germany last week. I will be pacing 28 minutes today. A pacer day in October is a rare treat! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Tomorrow we have our final pacer day of the year, so if you’re chasing a personal best, tomorrow could be a good opportunity before winter begins. We have volunteer pacers aiming to finish at most times from 20-41, plus 45 minutes, for you to chase.

A graphic containing the words: Chase the pacer. There is also a photograph of a row of people with their backs to us, they are wearing pale blue parkrun pacer tops with numbers 40-20 individually on each back.

Morning walk Merlin recording included a Wood Lark, possible as apparently a TW resident (Broadwater Warren), but I suspect one of the robins was having a Rory Bremner moment.
