Thanks to our hi-vis volunteers for a wonderful junior parkrun morning full of festive cheer. 🎅🏼

We were delighted to welcome Santa, Snowmen, Elves and even a Gingerbread Man for a delightfully festive and fun filled Sunday morning. We shared some magical reindeer food with our juniors so that Rudolph and friends know where to find them on Christmas Eve 🎄.

It was lovely to welcome participants from Roding Primary school with a great turn out again.

juniors continues throughout the holidays, rain or shine, so see you next Sunday 28th December 2025.

The '5k' app joined the parkrun family on 1 December, and we're about to roll out the first release of new features 🎉

From today, you'll see a new layer on the event maps which shows event numbers, as well as special event attendance on your attendance chart.

All new parkrun events will be now be appearing and we fixed lots of bugs too; including making volunteer rosters for special events available and showing all cancellation reasons.

These features were top of the queue following previous feedback and asks from app users, ahead of the more meaningful engagement opportunities that are now rolling out for the wider parkrun community. Check the parkrun newsletter for your chance to opt in to receive our surveys.
