Was this really the first Saturday of May? It neither felt like it, nor looked like it. Inevitably, this being parkrun, the smiles of a new record attendance of 444 runners brightened the morning. Extra big smiles too, for this was Ashton Court's 4th birthday party.

I took video as everyone passed by high up on the hill. Unfortunately Prince didn't like me using one of his songs and so the soundtrack has been removed. We'll just have to wait for Minneapolis parkrun to start, and then I'm sure he'll change his mind.

On this page, everyone gathering near the start and finish, ready for their Saturday morning constitutional, and then, towards the foot of the page, some views of the ever-changing park we're so fortunate to have on our doorstep.
