Special mentions go to Paul Leverton for running over 100miles and Ian and Wendy Hunter running 100km over the course of 24 hours at Endure 24 – that takes some serious mental and physical strength 👏💪🙌

🅿️🏃 parkrun takeover
Thank you to everyone who stepped up to volunteer for our Bicester parkrun takeover on Saturday – it was a great success! It was also great to see lots of members running and then enjoying some discounted food and drink at Esquires!
We’ll look to do it again so do look out for details!
🦺 Marshals for Mota-vation
The next Mota-vation race is on Thursday 26th June and we need to provide 3 marshals for it. If you or a friend or family member are able to help, please let Alan know ASAP at
🦺 Marshals for Alchester 5k
The Alchester 5k is on 6th August and we need your help!
Thank you to those who have come forward in the last week – we’ve had a big increase in the number of volunteers, however, we are still a good few short of the 45+ marshals required to make the race happen.
So, if you, your family or friends are able to help please let our Chief Marshal, Mike Fisher, know ASAP.
