In Pictures: The 50,000th runner crosses the finishing line in Wakefield Thornes parkrun
Wakefield Thornes parkrun celebrated a significant milestone last Saturday when its 50,000th finisher crossed the line.
The popular 5k in Thornes Park was formed on September 20 2014 and going into last weekend’s instalment, 7,177 participants had completed 49,966 parkruns between them.
The free event attracted a field of 334 for last Saturday’s timed run and Nathan Rugg was the lucky person to claim 34th place and become the 50,000th runner to cross the line since it was established.
