An opportunity maybe to visit another local parkrun event Haughmond Hill parkrun 💙

A glorious morning in the sunshine for our Shrewsbury 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer group at Shrewsbury parkrun today 😎
Some of us walked, some ran and as always the friendship and support within the group was very evident 💙
Afterwards we enjoyed coffee in the sunshine at Stop. Coffee Shop ☕️
Well done to everyone who joined us this morning 💙

There is ever increasing evidence that exercise and movement is good for anyone going through cancer treatment. Here are some links to studies which provide the evidence, well worth a read ⬇️

Did you know that we have an evidence page on our website dedicated to scientific research about movement and cancer? We update it regularly and have just added some new studies. If you’re living with cancer and wondering why exercise might help, please check out our excellent page Why Should I Exercise? and share it with anyone else who might find it useful. https://www.moveagainstcancer.org/why-should-i-exercise/

Another brilliant 5k Your Way meet-up at Shrewsbury parkrun this morning 💚

So good to see familiar faces and welcome some new ones—walking, jogging, chatting, supporting… exactly what it’s all about. There’s something pretty special about starting the day together like that.

We did manage to survive without our Lead Ambassador… just about 😄
Turns out we can still find the start line, remember the route, and even take a few photos but we did miss you Sarah Mawhinney!

Same time next month!

We love our Shrewsbury 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer group participants to volunteer at Shrewsbury parkrun
The parkwalker and tailwalker volunteer roles are perfect for our walkers and a great way to support our parkrun event 💙

This morning our Shrewsbury 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer group joined with ICan Plus Lifestyle Support Programme for Cancer Patients for a social walk in the Quarry Park. We had a fantastic turnout of people enjoying the Spring sunshine, everyone walking whatever distance they wished 😎💙

Our Shrewsbury 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer group are joining ICan Plus Lifestyle Support Programme for Cancer Patients for this social walk on Wednesday 8th April. Some of our group ambassadors will be there to walk the 5k Shrewsbury parkrun route for those that wish to. There are options to just do part of the route as well.
A good opportunity for anyone who has been thinking of joining in with our group but wasn't sure what to expect 💙
We look forward to welcoming you next Wednesday 😊💙

Following on from the success of our walk around the Shrewsbury Quarry last year, we are delighted to invite you another iCan group walk event this April.

We would love you to join us at Shrewsbury Quarry on a relaxed, gentle walk passing by a cafe, naturally. Walk as far or as little as you like—there are plenty of benches along the way.
