Jurassic parkrunners at Thetford parkrun

Reindeers were not the only animals surprising people in and around Thetford at the weekend as the town’s parkrun welcomed dinosaurs to its 5km route.

The 161 people who ran and walked the course on Saturday, with some coming from as far away as Dorset, Devon, Hampshire and Hertford, were joined by eight Jurassic joggers.

The octet roared around the Abbey Meadows course, bringing smiles to the rest of the participants on a cold and frosty morning.
