Never mind the rain, runners battled elements and supported borough charity

By Nub News Reporter 8th Dec 2024

MEMBERS of Thurrock Nomads, who regularly take part in park runs at Orsett Heath didn't let a little thing like Storm Darrage put them off supporting a local good cause.

Despite the driving rain, strong winds and the cold yesterday's (Saturday, 7 December) run went ahead - with attending members and volunteers taking donations of food and cash for Thurrock Foodbank.

Afterwards the group gathered at a member's home for a very welcome hot drink and a celebration of what they have achieved.

The group have alrady completed more than 400 park runs and plan to keep going and supporting more good causes.
