Why is Reuben dressed as a pirate? He did his first ever ‘proper’ @parkrunuk and came 400th at the 400th event! 38:54… not bad for a 6 year old I reckon!
Had a lovely time at the @woofwagfestival - watched dogs compete and have a go at fly ball and agility, did some arts and crafts in the kids zone and completed the trail being ran by @southfieldschool
Of course, we enjoyed a Wicky Bear, a go round the carousel and a play in the park! Standard!
