Ecos parkrun will be celebrating its 10th birthday on 26th March. We’re doing some special things to mark the event and we need some extra volunteers to help out.
Tree planting and litter pick
On Saturday 19th March we kick off the celebrations by planting 10 oak trees beside the Millennium Bridge. Join us at 10.15 just after the Parkrun.
We are also doing a litter pick on the course after the Parkrun on 19th. This is to get the course looking its best for the 10th anniversary run on 26th. Please come along and join us. You can turn up on the day or drop us an email to let us know you are coming ecos@parkrun.com. We have litter pickers and bags but please bring your own gloves.
Ecos Parkrun, Ballymena Runners and the Friends of Ecos have come together to do this for our park.
Thank you cards
We can’t run parkrun with our volunteers. Almost 600 people have helped us run the parkrun in the past 10 years. We’re printing giant thank you cards so everyone taking part has an opportunity to say thank you to our volunteers. They will be available for signing from Saturday 19th. We need some volunteers to look after the cards so if you can help email us at ecos@parkrun.com
10th anniversary Parkrun 26th March
Our 10th anniversary parkrun kicks of with Claire Martin leading a big group warm up at 9.20.
The run itself will start at 9.30 as usual. If you’re coming along please wear your milestone T shirt or running club top if you have one.
After the run join us for a slice of birthday cake. We have ordered what we think is the biggest ever cake at ecos parkrun - hopefully there’s enough for everyone to get a slice.
We are expecting higher numbers than usual so we need some extra volunteers on the day. If you can help drop us an email to ecos@parkrun.com.
Additional car parking will be available in the Showgrounds on 26th. Toilets will be available in the Catalyst Building at the Start/Finish.
