No Walk in the Park
This page is dedicated to the “No Walk in the Park 5k race and 1500m Fun Run” organised by John Cannon in the combined interests of developing local athletic talent through competition, attracting new runners to the sport and donations to various named charities. Please do come along and support this event even if you don’t intend to run. We could always do with a little help if you would like to marshall or simply spectate to give runners an encouraging cheer. Everyone is welcome!
