Profile of a parkrunner: Meet Bríd

Meet Bríd Greene, from Daingean, who recently completed her 50th parkrun.

When did you complete your first parkrun?

My first parkrun was back in 2017 after having my son William. I walked it with him in the buggy. My husband Stephen ran it so a family morning out!

How does it feel to have reached the milestone of 50 parkruns?

My 50th parkrun is a long time coming. I was starting to go weekly in 2022 when I was sadly diagnosed with breast cancer. So I used the parkrun as my safe space to exercise. Sometimes I walked, sometimes I ran, and some weeks I didn't make it. I'm in remission now.

What is your favourite thing about Mountlucas parkrun?

I like the parkrun as you never regret it and knowing it is timed; it gives you that wee push to keep going. Mountlucas is a very friendly and welcoming bunch everyone is just happy to be out. They do like to celebrate everyones' wins.
