Henstridge Airfield Parkrun, which has welcomed runners from as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA, celebrated its fourth anniversary in suitable style – with a run!
The club are all about support, helping new runners and experienced members alike – whether for fitness, losing a few pounds, mindfulness or
just as a way to meet new people.

The club also likes to mix things up with fun runs, events and challenges such as tu-tu day (running in tu-tus when the run falls on the 22nd of the month), fancy dress, stopwatch bingo, alphabeteer, Cowell Club (attending 100 different events), and Staying Alive (run at three events starting with B and three starting with G).
The club are also looking for new volunteers and marshals. One of the organisers, Sharon Curtis, said: “Since covid, many volunteers have stayed away and without them being replaced it is becoming increasingly difficult to make sure the event is safe, as well as being timed.
“Parkrun is a phenomenon that is beneficial in improving health, mind and well-being, and promotes a positive attitude.”
