With husband to be, Craig Beddow, opting to stay in bed, Ann completed the 5km course in the company of fellow members of Chesterfield Tri Club. Personal bests were not the order of the day but a gentle jog around the course saw Ann getting good wishes and congratulations from the other 400 runners, walkers and volunteers at the weekly event.
Ann said: "Parkrun is an amazing community and I just couldn't think of a better way to start my wedding day!"
Local parkrun Event Ambassador, Mark Hazlehurst, added "Thousands of parkrunners around the world would agree!"
