Morning all ❤️One of our fab core team members, Nita, took these photos of the park yesterday, hopefully you recognise where on the course they are. Fingers crossed it won’t be too long before we get to go back there. Keep following the Government guidelines & stay safe all ❤️

We know you are all going to miss parkrun - we certainly are. The gathering of like minded people, a chance to catch up, enjoy each other's company. BUT however much we miss it please do not go to our parkrun today! It’s not the right thing to do for people's health and because..

...because if we do, we are not caring about everyone's health. So please do not go to any parkrun at 9am. That way we can get through this quicker, together and be back stronger 💪 [#loveparkrun]

The first of our extra parkrun is fast approaching and we’re still needing a few more helpers. We’re expecting big numbers as there no Vicky Park run Christmas Day so need a full team 🤞 Please let us know if you can help via our Facebook page.

Very sad to say that we are cancelling this weeks @braunstoparkrun. There are a group of travellers parked up in our set up area & it’s unlikely they will be gone by Saturday. This isn’t a decision we have taken lightly but hopefully we’ll be back to normal for next week.

We all know how much you love a good fancy dress day so have decided to do a joint Halloween/pyjama day this Saturday. Also, volunteers get to enjoy a cake this week so if you don’t want to miss out then get in touch via our Facebook page to let us know.

In case you're interested in stats! This week 404 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 32 were first timers and 60 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 28 different clubs took part. Our run was made possible by 30 high viz heroes - thank you all of you 🙏
