Blaydon Parkrun Take-over - 8th February
Thanks to everyone who volunteered and ran at Gibside parkrun, it was a fantastic turnout. As a club run entirely by volunteers, we’re always looking for help with coaching, officiating and supporting our athletes, so if you're interested in getting involved, please get in touch. There’ll also be more opportunities in the future to support Gibside parkrun.
