Run Wednesdays athletes show their colours - and organisational skills
First, the club did a takeover of Eastbourne parkrun. Parkruns take place across the world at 9am every Saturday. The events are 5k and take place in parks and open spaces. There is no time limit, and participants can walk, jog or run.
The Eastbourne event, which takes place at Shine Water Park, was marshalled and supported by volunteers from Run Wednesday. Club member Phil Wood acted as race director and organised the crew, who took the opportunity to promote their new magenta club colours.

Cheering on all competitors, in particular Run Wednesdays club member Sarah Case, who completed the half, the Run Wednesdays team ran a station providing water, gel and ice to participants on a day that saw temperatures top 25C.
