The sun definitely shone down on our 708 smiling participants, it definitely didn’t put off 134 first timers or stop 80 new Personal Bests.🎉🎉
Thanks, of course, to our 47 amazing volunteers (plus Maisie and Bertie) for making it possible, ………⬇️

We're expecting it to be a warm one tomorrow
(probably not ideal for dogs ) so come prepared and we'll see you for a 9am start (8.50am for First Timers' Welcome)☀️☀️

It looks like it might be another hot one on Saturday, so sharing our cool advice again for runners, walkers and, of course dogs!!

We can’t promise Dame Kelly Holmes again, we can’t promise an England win but we can promise that an email to Louisa, with your parkrun ID to [email protected] will have you scaling the heights with the smiliest volunteer team!

Of course, a huge thank you to Dame Kelly for making our Pride parkrun so special!! 🏳️‍🌈🎉🌈

What was going to be a great Pride parkrun got even better when Dame Kelly Holmes joined us to get 738 participants off to an amazing start with her inspirational speech, welcoming 135 First Timers (definitely picked the right day) and an excellent 87 PBs….⬇️

The thunder storms cleared and the sun returned but that didn’t deter 617 people turning out for a rather sticky parkrun, welcoming 109 First Timers and, despite the heat, 42 PBs.
Huge thanks to all of our 50 amazing volunteers (plus Maisie and Margo) for smiling through….⬇️

[Tooting Common parkrun @Tootingparkrun]

….the heat and doing a brilliant job, with congratulations to today’s first Time Run Director, Sian, for making everything run like clockwork!
It’s a happy 29th birthday to George and congratulations to all today’s milestones….⬇️

[Tooting Common parkrun @Tootingparkrun]

We’re really hoping the heat will have eased by this weekend but it could still be rather warm for anyone in a fur coat so please consider leaving your parkrun pooches at home for their welfare and safety.
Check out the RSPCA website where they have some helpful advice!

[Tooting Common parkrun @Tootingparkrun]

Hopefully temperatures will have returned to seasonal norms by Saturday (we will be keeping an eye!) so what better way to celebrate than by joining our volunteer team? Just email Louisa with your parkrun ID to [email protected] and get your weekend off to a great start!

[Tooting Common parkrun @Tootingparkrun]

Our lovely volunteer, Sophie, will be signing our briefings for us to ensure nobody misses out on parkrun, as she explains in the video she’s made for us……

[Tooting Common parkrun @Tootingparkrun]

Happy Father's Day to all our amazing parkrunner, parkwalker and volunteer fathers, and all those who step up to the role!

[Tooting Common parkrun @Tootingparkrun]

(plus Maisie, Torin, Bertie and Wilbur) for making it all possible and congratulations to Agams for being a star first time Run Director!!
Congratulations to all our milestones, including Steph’s 50th and great to welcome the staff and students of Bishop Thomas Grant School!! 🎉

A little bit of late night World Cup football didn’t put anyone off and it was great to see 739 people join us, welcoming 96 First Timers and celebrating 89 great new PBs.
Thanks, as ever to our amazing 48 volunteers…..⬇️
