TODAY (August 13) sees the parkrun in Apex Park, Highbridge reach an incredible milestone of 300.

Reg Huxtable, co-event director said: “We owe this success to an extraordinary and dedicated core team, who have managed the parkrun from the first event in June 2015.

"Assisting along the way have been an incredible number of volunteers, who despite weather and conditions, regularly support us week after week."
