THERE were 121 runners of all ages and abilities at the Tamar Trail Parkrun at Gulworthy on Saturday.

Parkrunning is the only free event where people can go to exercise in a safe and social environment.

Some people who have been to the ‘couch to 5k’ sessions run by Sheila Houghton in Tavistock are then going onto the Tamar Trails.

One of the Parkrun organisers Andy Houghton of Tavistock Athletic Club told Times Sport: ‘The result in health and general confidence for these beginners has been simply trans-formational and will be obvious to everyone that knows them who are  then likely to want to be part of the action.’
