After several weeks of wind and rain, we were very lucky to have the sun come out from behind the clouds for Nansenparken parkrun's 2nd birthday! This lovely parkrunday, filled with joy and party spirits from our participants and volunteers, truly made this birthday unforgettable!
A fantastic group of 61 parkrunners joined us in the celebration, with a good mix of regulars and visitors from the other Oslo parkruns. Many thumbs up and hands in the air were captures by the photographer, but the true celebratory spirit was something you had to be there to experience. Just look at some of the gorgeous faces captured this week!
16 people made their Nansenparken parkrun debut on our birthday, and were met with applause and a proper parkrun welcome!
One of our juniors reached his 10-milestone this week, and was cheered on all throughout our course by both parkrunners and volunteers. We also had 9 people recording a new Personal Best this week. Congratulations!
We had two tourists visiting us from Liverpool this week, thank you for joining us!
A few members of our core team joined in the celebration this week, smiling in the selfie frame with flags and balloons. Linn and Elizabeth also brought cake and cookies for the occasion.
We had a great team of volunteers this week, who made sure our birthday celebration went smoothly. They cheered loudly on our participants, and made sure to celebrate each and every one as they crossed the finish line. Without them, this week's parkrun would not have happened, so thank you so much to this fabulous team! The event was made possible by 6 fantastic volunteers:
Elizabeth ACKLAM • Liam TURNER • Linn Jenssen ACKLAM • Ada Jenssen ACKLAM • Michael RICANEK • Sigrid RICANEK
