Easingwold’s Millfield Parkrun was full of energy on Saturday morning, with Cundall Manor School proudly sponsoring the event.
As part of the Parkrun takeover, Cundall staff and students took on key roles, providing refreshments, including homemade flapjacks, and assisting with marshalling.
It was an engaging start to the weekend, with the school supporting this much-loved community event.
Ian Swannell, Head of Sixth Form at Cundall Manor, shared the school’s enthusiasm for being involved:
"Many of our staff and pupils run it regularly, so it was a great opportunity to give the usual volunteers a break. We were delighted to support the event and encourage more of our pupils to take part.
Parkrun offers free, accessible sporting events across the country, perfect for families and individuals to enjoy a sense of achievement and community."
The event saw 201 participants cross the finish line, including standout performances from Cundall Manor alumni Will, who crossed the line first with an impressive time of 17:36, and Peter, a Cundall parent, who followed closely with 19:04. In total, 29 runners achieved personal bests, with plenty of cheering from the sidelines.
