A free, weekly, timed 5k event every Saturday morning, 8.45am by the cafe in Finsbury Park. Everyone is welcome to walk, jog, run or volunteer! 🌳
#loveparkrun
THANK YOU! To all the 513 runners, joggers and walkers and the massive 35 volunteers who joined us to celebrate our 600th run this morning. What a fantastic time we had!
The dream team! All-but-one of our Event Directors, Run Directors and Volunteer Co-ordinators together for our Christmas meal. We are delighted to have such a talented, committed and good-looking bunch making our parkrun happen. Thanks for volunteering, you lovely humans.
Have you ever wondered why we give lots of instructions about what to do in the finish funnel? The 5km is over (whoop!) - why do we put so much emphasis on what you do next?
Well, your parkrun is over, but the results process has only just begun. What do we shout and why?
Another brilliantly busy morning. Apologies to anyone caught in the funnel back-up, we do our best but sometimes we slip up.
Congrats to all milestone participants, including our terrific teenagers Finn (completing his 100th run) and Alida who earned her 50th volunteer credit!
If you've volunteered with us, you've spoken to our marvellous Volunteer Co-ordinator Katie. Not only a parkrun legend (382 volunteering days) Katie is now AN INTERNATIONAL ATHLETE, representing GBR at the Aquathlon World Champs. Congrats Katie, we are all so proud of you!
Volunteer Chris caught this video of Saturday's run setting off.
Don't you all look FABULOUS?!?
But...please stay in the carriageway 🙏 We leave the pavements free for other park users: plenty of space for us, plenty of space for them, everyone having a great Saturday morning👍
Merry Christmas from Finsbury parkrun!
Great outfits today from the 263 who ran, jogged and walked this morning! And big thanks to our volunteers.
See you next Sat!

The rain largely stayed away for
our first parkrun in 2023. We had 661 parkrunners & 26 volunteers join us, including 73 first timers! We hope to see you all in future weeks.

The team are checking the course. If we go ahead it will be with small patches of ice and larger sections of frost on route. Everyone should slow down and take it steady. If you're at higher risk of a fall injury consider doing a (not)parkrun in the afternoon instead.
We should be on this weekend, but the roster is very empty. Can you volunteer? Email finsbury

Unfortunately we've just been told festival set-up will start earlier than expected so we will be cancelled 29th July, 5th August and 12th August.
Our latest run report is up! Full of parkrun fun as ever.
We're getting ready for the big 600 next week. Can you help us fill our volunteer roster so that Lorna has time to shop for cake on Friday? If so, email finsbury

A lovely run report by Welsh parkrunner Fiona is online now:
We are cancelled next week (15th April) due to Tough Mudder in the park.
Back on 22nd April for a marvellous morning of milestones and marathon guests.
