Here's a link to a short video taken shortly after the start of Abingdon parkrun # 35 . .

Earlier, it had taken a while but the sun did eventually shine on the 58 participants in the 35th Abingdon parkrun, the first to be held in the New Year . .

 . . it also took a while for any runners to join us . . we had the course and the finish marked out, we even had two photographers and a tail runner . . but nobody to run. We began to think we might have to run ourselves. However as 9am approached, the cars in the car park began to empty and everyone made their way to the start beside the river . .

. . my cameras and I completed one lap of the course, pausing to take photos twice on the way round when the runners went by . . these are a few photos taken on the route . . on the other pages you'll find photos of the volunteers . . the runners . . stopping for coffee . . and looking around Abingdon . .
