Teignmouth Promenade parkrun celebrated its 75,000th participant last Saturday (October 11).

Claire Hannaford, who runs Slimming World groups in Dawlish, was named as Teignmouth Promenade’s 75,000th parkrunner. She is a regular at the event and often runs alongside some of her members.

‘It’s a great start to the weekend,’ Claire said. ‘I love being active. I encourage others to be active and the community support at parkrun is ideal to get those uplifting Saturday vibes.’

Teignmouth Promenade parkrun recently celebrated its seventh birthday. The free event takes place thanks to the efforts of volunteers. Parkrun is open to anyone and takes place at 9am every Saturday. Participants are welcome to walk or run the 5-kilometre course.
