A running-mad couple are now engaged after a surprise proposal during a Parkrun event in Manchester. Tony Coyne popped the question to Sacha Fox during the Heaton Park event at the weekend.
Fellow runners cheered as she said yes - after stopping her watch so it didn’t impact her run time. Keen to finish the 5k though, Sacha, 49, then sped off, leaving Tony with a beaming smile.
The 51-year-old said that he was more nervous about logistics of being able to pop the question during the community-friendly event, rather than her actual response.
