A PARKRUN event could be set up in Melksham but organisers need your help to get the ball rolling.
Colin Goodhind, chair of Melksham Community Area Partnership came up with the idea to bring parkrun to Melksham.
He said, “As a not-regular-enough parkrunner I was pleased to discover enthusiasm for setting up a parkrun in or very close to Melksham. For those of you who haven’t heard of parkrun or want to find out more go to www.parkrun.org.uk
“Essentially, parkrun organise free, weekly, 5km timed runs around the world on Saturday at 9am.
“They are open to everyone, young, old, serious runners or people just wanting to get out and get some exercise and are safe and easy to take part in.
“The nearest parkrun event are Southwick Park in Trowbridge and Monkton Park in Chippenham. If the idea of a local parkrun appeals to you, please help us determine the level of interest by dropping an email to melksham parkrun @gmail.com or if you don’t have access to email just contact the Town Hall.
“We would like to hear from anyone interested in taking part, suggesting possible routes or helping in any other way.”
