​Parkrun:
James and Frances reported on their trip to Valentine's parkrun in Ilford on Valentine's Day along with 2,329 others. Normal attendance is around 400, but the marshals were well prepared for the huge number of tourists. The queue into the finish funnel was around 500m and took around 10 minutes to get through. Very enjoyable and good atmosphere amongst the runners!
