Huntingdon was slightly less flooded & muddy than in previous weeks but a course deviation was still in place. Prior to the run start, the Race Director asked the participants to celebrate that the Huntingdon Parkrun had reached its 10th birthday. The concept for a Parkrun event in Huntingdon was instigated by Club Member, Suzie Hall, who was present along with most members of her family. Over the 10 years, the event has seen 109,904 finishes by 863 different Groups / Clubs & 16,500 PB’s. An impressive achievement.
