THE weather held out long enough on Sunday morning for some keen runners to take part in the monthly ‘Run in the Park’ organised by OCRA and Okehampton Running Club.

With a bright morning and the showers holding off, children and families, as well as members of the running club, took the chance to run around the part.

Although each runner is timed it is not a race, with the aim being to give anyone of any age and ability the chance to run in a safe event in beautiful surroundings.

The run takes place on the first Sunday of each month with a choice of two distances, 2.5 kilometres and five kilometres.

Runners meet at OCRA Pavilion in the Park at 9am for a 9.30am start, with the next run on March 6.
