Thank you to Ste Gordon for having the courage to allow me to tell his story in today's @TheNorthernEcho - how he went from a spell in prison as a young man, to rebuilding his life, becoming an inspirational sports coach, and inspiring others. https://t.co/NstdvoOTss

Only my second visit of the year to @HMPKirklev for The Grange parkrun. So good to meet a number of new residents who were taking part as well as a few visitors from the North East and Leeds parkrun communities. @parkrunUK

Cross Flatts @parkrunUK doing their bit for #LUFC this morning!

I can't believe that it is five years since The Grange parkrun started at @HMPKirklev and I never imagined the impact it would have on everyone who has taken part.

Very special gift for @PSH_A1674 today from a resident at @HMPKirklev After hearing about @parkrunUK adventures to Downing St celebrating our 20th Anniversary ‘S’ wanted me to send this to the ‘boss’ & say a huge thank you as ‘the volunteering makes us feel welcome every week’ 🧡

A big thank you to @HMPHolmeHouse for the opportunity to attend their annual Wellbeing Day and really good to hear about the positive impact @parkrunUK is having on those who take part. Well done to all involved in supporting the parkrun here.

What a match! Super Leeds

Great to be back @darlo_parkrun this morning where exactly 500 finishers completed the 500th event. I am fortunate to have a wonderful volunteer role with parkrun which all came about because of my involvement with this event. Thanks to all involved over the past 11 years.

A New Years Eve race to see out 2023 and Marching on Together into 2024. Happy New Year.

A perfect start to Christmas day and great to see so many Richmond and Zetland Harriers amongst the record attendance at Northallerton parkrun this morning. #loveparkrun

"...just these little things keep you going, making your family proud." A glimpse into a custodial @parkrunUK at @HMP_Onley. From @Channel4News, @darshnasoni, @stuartmcteer https://t.co/E74WXjvBPX

A big thank you to @dalbydasher and the Dalby Dash 10k for their kind donation of @Ronhill_UK beanies for the participants of The Grange parkrun at @HMPKirklev. The hats are very much appreciated. @parkrunUK

Back @HMPKirklev this morning along with special guests that included some Gurkhas, to take part in The Grange's Remberance Day @parkrunUK event. Fantastic to see one of the lads complete their 50th run and witness the positive impact of prison parkrun.

We know that parkruns operating in the custodial estate are popular and positive events, with the benefits of which impact the whole prison. Now, with the results of research commissioned by @hmpps we can understand why 👉 https://t.co/9LRVOldkwl 🌳 #loveparkrun

Fantastic numbers again today at event number 44 @HMPHolmeHouse A whopping 52 participants with 7 first timers and 13 new PBs!! Big shout out to the volunteers for making it happen and to the staff for facilitating every week 🧡🫶#prison #parkrun #hmpps

My hope for the rest of 2023: More people will discover the beauty of running. Improved cardiovascular health, lower stress, better mental health, and more time outside. Let's make it happen.
