The leader runs by me after approximately 1 mile of the
Hastings 5K Park Run yesterday morning, ok, it's along the seafront, and not actually in a park as many are. It's held every Saturday, beginning at 09.00 at Seaside Road, down from the
Bo Peep, to just east of the Pier and back.

And getting closer to the halfway point, runners going away from me, and runners coming back in this shot. In all, 269 people of all ages took part in the regular weekly
Park Run yesterday, not to mention the many volunteers who helped to steward the event. The first male to finish the race was first-timer (in this event) Henry Willis of Maidstone Harriers, and first female was Karen Murdoch of Hastings AC, but you don't need to run for a club to take part, people of all levels run for health or social reasons, and new entrants are positively welcomed; see
website for further details, and many of these park runs are held all over the country at the same time!
Though, talking about music...
Skinny Lister setting up their stage for their gig yesterday evening at the
Stade Open Space, as I mentioned yesterday, a
Stade Saturdays contribution to
Music Month.
