We’ve seen lots of ways to celebrate a 250 parkrun milestone – a 250 balloon, even lots of balloons, fancy dress, a 250 sash, a 250 gilet, sweets, flapjacks, cake – they’ve all been good, but this is different: YOU get a FREE portrait photo of YOU in a facebook album that will help us remember this milestone event day.
