The weather forecast was for showers but fortunately, it didn't rain until the journey home again but, for a mid July day, it wasn't particularly warm.
After parking the cars, we walked to the sea front where a crowd of the regular Portcawl Parkrunners were mingling before listening to the briefing given to those who had never run the course before.
The course began flat and we ran for a few hundred metres before coming back on ourselves and heading in the opposite direction. Then the path began to climb steadily up to the next turn around point where we headed back down hill to the finish line, against the wind. A simple, out and back course.

New girl Suzanne looking strong and happy
Yangi always looks happy
Gritted teeth and sheer determination from Steve
Tania looking to overtake
And then goes flying past the guys

Andrew had just completed his 100th Parkrun, so a call for celebration
Hungry runners awaiting breakfast
I'm sure there will be another CRC Parkrun away day very soon, possibly Barry of Caldicot. What this space.
