With this being the Saturday of the special events weekend, we had loads of lovely tourists visiting us for our event #65, parkrunners from the UK, Germany, and Poland joining our locals in a morning of parkrun fun in the sunshine!

35 of today's 69 participants were first-timers to Nansenparken, of whom 5 were brand new to parkrun.

Huge congratulations to our regular Maria, who ran her 25th parkrun today! 

Another impressive local achievement was made today by Ger, who set a new age-grading record for Nansenparken parkrun at 91.03%!

Two of our visitors reached a rather unsual milestone by Norwegian standards - they ran their 99th different event today, and celebrated with a 99 flake (a typical British ice cream and chocolate treat).

We also had a visit from a real-life viking! Nigel, event director of Neckarufer parkrun knows how to parkrun in style!

Don't forget that on Monday May 1st we'll to be back in Nansenparken, ready for start at 9.30.

It was a wet day, but the snow and ice had started to dissappear and we could finally get the signposts in the ground without drilling through frozen earth!

We had a couple of newcomers and one tourist, and are thrilled to keep growing. 43 people ran, jogged and walked the course. 10 had new PB's -- congratulations! Our regular runner Peter Tálos ran his 25th parkun.

We always thank our great volunteers, and especially our new young tail walker Anton!

Huge congratulations to Linn, who we celebrated for volunteering at parkrun for the 50th time! She is our most regular timekeeper, and has covered this role in half of our events so far!

We had several visitors from England this week, and we could also welcome several brand new local parkrunners to their first parkrun. We hope to see you back again very soon!

Marianne dressed up in her yellow running-gear for easter, and all the parkrunners got a chocolate treat from the easter egg when scanning theis barcode this week.

It was a glorious sunny Saturday morning this April 1st. Despite some unstable weather earlier in the week, the course was dry. We were able to put our tarp out on its normal place for the first time this winter after the ice had begun to clear!

It was the first day of the Easter holiday week, when many Norwegian flock to the mountains for parkski, so we were delighted to have 27 people walking, jogging and running the course at Nansenparken!

We welcomed two first-timers, and had a tourist visiting from far-away Syndey, Australia! 3 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 5 different clubs took part. After parkrun a few of us gathered at Kaffebrenneriet for their delicious Easter bun and to make sure the birds were still there.

As always much thanks go to our volunteers!
