Report by Don Hale.

Conwy parkrun officials announced some changes to the event director’s positions at this popular event and paid tribute to several important volunteers and their dedicated service.

Parkrun official and regular run director Gwyn Williams stated: “Well done to everyone who joined us to run, jog, and walk the course this morning on a crisp and beautifully morning. We had fifty first timers taking part and an incredible thirty-four runners recorded new PBs. Thanks also to the twenty-two wonderful volunteers who made the magic happen."

Gwyn added: “I would like to offer congratulations to today’s Run Director Mark Jessett, who completed his 100th volunteering stint. Some of you may not be aware that Mark, along with Bethan Wyn Roberts took on the baton of the Event Directorship from Rob and Kelly Armstrong recently.

“Rob and Kelly having done so much good work at Conwy parkrun over the years, in particular setting up the event eight years ago, and making it such a successful and much-loved parkrun.

“We are very lucky to have individuals like Rob and Kelly and now Mark and Bethan, who give up their time freely so that the rest of us can enjoy our Saturday morning social and physical workout. “I’m sure you’ll join me in congratulating Mark and thanking him, Bethan and Rob and Kelly for their service to Conwy parkrun.”
