Marecchia Parkrun 2018
August 25th 2018
5 km run
My first parkrun at over 30 degrees....
This parkrun was part of a last holiday abroad, and just showed what one can do with just a few really keen volunteers. In fact, there were just three! One of whom did the race briefing, start, ran and won the parkrun, did the finish timing and scanned the finish tokens. Impressive indeed!
I had a bit less on my plate, but enjoyed the pancake flat three lap course (enough elevation was to come hiking in the incredible mountains north of Lake Garda). A nice non-challenging run at a leisurely pace (my husband was busy watching and ensuring I stayed within HR limits on his (my old) watch!).
I'm pretty sure at least 90% of the field were tourists, but at least I could have a chat to people despite my terrible lack of Italian. Which showed when the parkrun email came in - in Italian!
