Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That's very sad, Jef. My condolences to all who knew him.

No parkrun for me tomorrow as my choir is singing at Cheltenham races and we have to be there for 9am. I think that's a poor show ;-)

My 2nd ever Parkrun today and first run of 2022 :-)

I’m really chuffed with 26:49, 82nd place and 12th female.

Thanks everyone. As sad as the day was I think Lorna would have been happy but embarrassed with the outpouring of love for her as we said our goodbyes far too early for someone so young.

Good run at Exmouth today. Actually enjoyed running into the wind for once, I found it too hot the other way!

Went to sprint for the line and wished I hadn't, had I not overtaken someone I would have got one of the few I have left on position bingo! There's a lesson there

Update from Teignmouth today :)

There were shenanigans in the funnel with some of our younger runners crossing between the timekeepers twice and then not taking a token on the second time, or ducking out of the funnel before the tokens. Please understand this can mess up everyone's times. On behalf of the funnel manager we ask that if you cross between the timekeepers (no matter how young you are) that you take a token or get one put in the bucket. This is particularly important to our funnel manager because if it happens 5 times in one event, they get thrown in the sea!

Beeston parkrun has a new course. Due to problems with the cars entering and leaving the car park going through the runners, which closed us for four weeks, we now have a different course. Still got the same loop but the start and finish sections have been changed.

I discovered the purpose of the parkwalker role today - to make you feel crap about yourself when their walking pace is faster than your jeffing pace 🤣🤣🤣
