Catford parkrun

After a course check this afternoon, we’ve decided that there is too much ice on parts of the course for Catford #parkrun to happen tomorrow, it will get worse overnight. See you next Saturday! Please pass it on!

We had a problem with one of the scanners this morning - if you ran or walked and your name is missing let us know via mailto:catford@parkrun.com

There will be no Catford #parkrun on Saturday 26 July as there is another event in Mountsfield Park. The good news is that there are lots of nearby options for ‘tourism’ - Hilly Fields (1.1m), Sutcliffe (1.6m), Beckenham Place (2.1m), Peckham Rye (2.3m), Charlton (3.1m).

We are celebrating walkers at parkrun this weekend. Please encourage friends, family and neighbours to come along and walk with us. We’d love to have a volunteer roster full of parkwalkers and you can get a credit (there won’t be a parkwalk volunteer vest for everyone though!) 😂

We had some issues with scanning this morning and have a lot of unknown runners. Please email us if you know your time and position.

After doing a course check we’ve decided to cancel today’s Catford #parkrun - there are gusts that are too dangerous - see you next week!

Catford #parkrun has moved, from here, not from Mountsfield Park! This account will remain for urgent announcements etc where we want to keep all channels open, but everything that used to be here, will be on BlueSky in future, hope to see you there. @catfordparkrun.bsky.social

For a Tuesday, the volunteer roster is looking healthy. But we need several more marshals &a tailwalker so if you can unleash your inner Kim or inner Charles, we’d love to hear from you! Apply via the link ⬇️. Many thanks. parkrun.org.uk/catford/future…

The Addams family were in reality the Phoenix Players who are doing a musical version in a couple of weeks at St Dunstans College. phoenixplayers.org.uk/shows-events/a…

There were a number of milestones - Catford regulars Guy Troup (200) and Enomwoyi Damali (50 volunteering credits) both brought cakes and so were very popular. Andrew Williams (100), Jennifer Cass (50), Louise Ellford & Jessica Morgan both reached 25.

Catford #parkrun 265 saw 259 finishers - the highest number of 2024. The ranks were swelled by members of the Addams Family (yes that one- scroll down). As always a massive thank you to the 32 volunteers who made it all possible. parkrun.org.uk/catford/result…
