10,000 Great Lines parkruns

5/5/2018

 
Picture

Wow!  What a morning, we celebrated exceeding 10,000 Medway Fit parkruns at Great Lines today with amazing cakes contributed by our fantastic members.

I've been in a cake coma for the last few hours but having woken up I am sitting in wonder as I type this post about the enormity of that figure. 317 different athletes, 10,000 runs, 50,000,000kms!  When I look back over the last 4 years and see how we have grown from a small group of friends to an enormous running and fitness family with over 400 members I beam with pride.  Well done team and congratulations to each and every one of you.  #fitfitfit #beawesome #cirflife

Couch to 5KM Graduation Run - Feb 2017

25/2/2017

 
We are super proud of our latest Couch to 5KM graduates who persevered for 8 weeks to discipline and train their bodies to the point of being able to complete the 5KM distance.

We invited the C25KM graduates to complete their 5KM run at Gt. Lines parkrun on what turned out to be a cold and windy morning - Not the most ideal of conditions for your first 5KM but it certainly didn't prove to be a barrier as they all got their heads down and pressed on regardless!

It was amazing to have them each issued with their certificates confirming their awesome achievement and we trust that in the weeks and months ahead they will clock up many more KMs/miles as they further embrace their new running journey.

Here are a few words from Natalie Gould who is one of our coaches:

It was lovely to come home from work today to see the Great Lines parkrun results and my news-feed full of photos of happy runners! 😄
I am so immensely proud of everyone involved in the C25k, not just the amazing graduates who have stepped out of their comfort zone to achieve this incredible feat (in some awesome times too!), but also all the people who have helped in some way by giving up their time to support and encourage the new members of the club. 💓
I feel so thankful to be part of such an incredibly supportive community and to know that all our new runners had at least one buddy with them today. 👏🏃
Very well done Medway Fit, I am beyond proud of you all!! 😚
