Eastern Trail parkrun Biddeford

And here's to many more!!!!

Happy 14th anniversary to parkrun USA! What a journey! It all started with just one event at Livonia parkrun in 2012, brought to life by 28 finishers and seven volunteers. Fast forward to today, and that single spark has grown into an incredible nationwide community of 99 events and thousands of participants!

Oh how far we've come! The data is still rolling in for today, but last weekend saw over 6,000 participants across the country, including nearly 1,000 amazing volunteers! Whether you’ve been with us since day one or joined for the very first time today, thank you for being a part of our family. You are the heart and soul of parkrun USA. 🇺🇸 🎉 👟 🌳

Overcast skies and mild temperatures greeted the 23 participants, 10 volunteers and a bunch of mosquitoes present for event #164 on The Eastern Trail. Thank you to all in attendance (except the mosquitoes) for a great morning.
Congratulations to Bill for reaching the 25 volunteer milestone today! We appreciate your ongoing participation and assistance!
Our event is only able to operate because of our incredible volunteers. Thank you to everyone that donned a vest this morning and ensured the success of our event. If you enjoy participating in our parkrun please consider volunteering from time to time. Many hands make light work and we'd really love to have some more hands to spread the load.
Congratulations to Andy, Lisa, Hallie and Sarah for recording new personal best times today!!! Keep up the great work!
We love making new friends and we're glad to welcome first time participants Oliver, Connie, Christine and Maura this morning. We hope you had a wonderful experience and will join us again as soon as you are able to.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, have a great week and we'll do it all again next Saturday. Hopefully we'll see you on the trail!

Thinking of joining us this weekend? Have you considered volunteering? We are currently in need of a course checker, marshal, timekeeper, token distributor, token scanner, park walker and photographer to round out our volunteer team for this weekend's event. With so many options to choose from now is a great time for new volunteers to get involved! Comment below or reach out via messenger to claim your desired position.

Event 163 on The Eastern Trail was a wet one! The inclement weather didn't deter 13 hearty participants and 10 dedicated volunteers! Thanks to everyone present for being part of another great event!
Huge congratulations to Amanda who reached the 25 event milestone today and to Bill who volunteered for the 25th time! Thank you both for being with us so often!
Thank you so much to our awesome volunteers. It really means a lot to be able to continue operating our event when the weather isn't great. We are only able to do so with your incredible support. We truly appreciate you and we're sure our participants appreciate you as well!!!!
This morning's weather did not appear to agree with technology. Unfortunately we had some issues with the timing clock. Finish times have been adjusted based on our best available information. If you do not think your finish time is accurate please reach out and let us know.
A jacket was was left behind and collected when we packed up at the end of the event. If it's yours and you'd like it back we'll have it with us next week or you can reach out and arrange for an earlier pick up if needed.
