5k through the muddy woods
Each week we get together
Always with our fingers crossed
The course will beat the weather
Young and old, fast and slow
It really doesn't matter
Getting out to get it done
Friends catch up and natter
It's made possible every week
By lots of volunteers
Without which our weekly jaunt
Would fall upon deaf ears
On this bright morning Dec 3
Lots of milestones fell
Volunteers and runners alike
Ringing the milestone bell
Marvels made up 10%
Of the 142 field
Their leader clocked her 200th run
Parkrun legend sealed
Mich wasn't alone in the 200 club
Paul Stone celebrated too
Cathy Boden got in on the action
For her the route was new
Chris Horton led a brace of Badgers
Winning in 18:47
Glynn second not far back
Matt's first time & podium heaven
First lady home clocked a shiny pb
21:43 for Elspeth Adamson-Woods
Meg and Laura hot on her heels
Bringing home the goods
Badgers pipped the pack
Leading from the start
A Fox brought us all in safe
Hayley's run full of heart
Wildlife represented throughout
Two Herons were in the mix
Despite an apparent fact
Only one of them exists
No less competitive in the middle
Emily Ford split the field
Du Sautay chased Brent in
Under pressure she did not yield
A few hard fought battles
Many chasing a runners hit
Don't worry if you're overtaken
No one gives a monkeys
Feel free to volunteer
Give a little back
Without you good people stepping up
Santa can't empty his sack
Of running shoes, shirts and leggings
Everything you could need
For being a great parkrunner
And keep you in the lead
That's 403 at Kingsbury done
Cheering you all is ace
See you next time on the course
For your Saturday run fix race
Big Thumbs
