21 pictures from Blackpool Parkrun - the first of 2023 - in the rain at Stanley Park

The first Blackpool Parkrun of 2023 took place on Saturday.

Hundreds of keen runners of all ages gathered at Stanley Park to take part in the two-lap run despite the wet and windy conditions.

Parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. The distance is 5k and runs take place every Saturday morning.

Junior parkrun is 2k and is aimed at 4-14 year olds and their families, with runs taking place every Sunday morning.

Here are 21 pictures from our photographer Neil Cross, who braved the weather to take some fantastic shots.
