This morning at Bedworth parkrun, one of our Longford Striders regulars and group helper, Elaine Garrett Robinson, reached an impressive double milestone by completing her 250th parkrun alongside earning her 250th volunteer credit. This is a fantastic achievement and shows remarkable commitment to parkrun over many years. Reaching 250 events as both a participant and a volunteer requires consistency, dedication and a genuine passion for being part of the running community. It highlights the contribution Elaine has made not only to her own running journey but also to the experience of many others who have benefited from her support at events.

Elaine is a familiar face to many of us at Longford Striders. She is always willing to help, always encourages others. We would like to offer our warm congratulations to Elaine on reaching this outstanding double milestone. It is an achievement to be proud of and one that inspires the rest of us. Well done Elaine, and thank you for everything you bring to both parkrun and Longford Striders.
