Frigid conditions did not deter 20 participants and 10 volunteers from taking part in this morning's event #141 on The Eastern Trail. Thank you to everyone in attendance for being a part of another great event and the last of 2025!
The biggest thanks go to our incredible volunteers, particularly those in more stationary roles. We simply cannot operate without your much appreciated hard work and are lucky to have you with us.
We were glad to welcome four first timers today, Aaron, Katrina, Katja and Claire. We hope you enjoyed your experience and will join us again as soon as you are able!
Big congratulations to Aaron who reached the 50 parkrun milestone today - well done!!!! Congratulations also to Barbara who completed her 100th event on the Eastern Trail!!!!
We now look forward to our special event on Thursday to celebrate New Year's Day and hope you can join us. Same time. Same place. Post event coffee will be at the Lincoln. Volunteers are still needed for both Thursday and next Saturday - if you're able to help please reach out and let us know!
See you soon!!!

Wishing everyone the very best this holiday week and looking forward to seeing you on Saturday! We are in need of volunteers for Saturday's event. Please reach out if you can help as a pre event course checker, marshal, timekeeper, barcode scanner, park walker or tail walker.

After a couple of weeks utilizing our alternate course due to snow and ice accumulation it was wonderful to return to our regular course for event #140 on The Eastern Trail. Thank you to everyone in attendance for being part of another great event.
Congratulations to Susan and Linda who set new personal best times this morning.
A big Biddeford welcome to Duncan, Charlie and Emily who joined us for the first time and a welcome back to the Bramley family visiting from the UK!
Thank you as always to our volunteers!!!! We simply cannot put our event on each week without the dedication and support of those who volunteer. We truly appreciate you all and encourage everyone to please consider volunteering from time to time so we can share the load.
We wish everyone the very best for a wonderful festive week ahead and will see you on the other side! Don't forget we have a special New Years Day event on January 1st - hopefully you can join us to welcome 2026!

We are still in need of a marshal for tomorrow's event - could that be you?
We are excited to see what the trail looks like in the morning after today's warm temperatures and rain. We'll keep our fingers crossed and hope that the wind has not affected any of the trees. Please dress appropriately and prepare for some mud.

Event #139 on The Eastern Trail was another great success. 18 participants and 8 volunteers managed slick conditions under foot and made the most of slightly warmer conditions (compared to last week) for a lovely morning.
Congratulations to Peter for completing his 50th parkrun today!!! Congratulations also to Bill who reached the 25 parkrun milestone this morning. We love having both of you with us week after week and appreciate your volunteer efforts too!
Speaking of volunteers, our event simply cannot operate without them! Thank you to everyone that volunteered today. Finding people willing to stand in the cold can be difficult and we are truly thankful for all you do to help our event succeed!
Don't forget, we have a special New Years day event taking place on, you guessed it, New Years day. We'll be in our regular location on the Eastern Trail behind the hospital in Biddeford for a 9am start and hope you can join us. Can't wait that long? No problem, we'll be in the same spot every Saturday (as always) and hope you can join us for event #140 next weekend!

Ice cleats as well, just to be safe! Not sure what conditions will be like in the morning. We do know we'll be there! Come prepared!

Hats, gloves, and extra layers likely needed at most events tomorrow. 🧤❄️ Warm up by getting moving at parkrun! Where will you be parkrunning or volunteering? 🌳
