Usually we inspect on a Friday morning, but we’re making an early call this week. The course is drying out nicely but it needs a little longer before we set hundreds of people loose. So off this week, but keep checking back here to see we’re able to resume. #loveparkrun🌳

It’s been drier this week. The river levels are dropping. The course is drying out. 🥳 However, parts are muddy enough that staying upright is a challenge even in trail shoes. So we’re cancelled again this week. 🧐 Tune in next Friday for another update. ⏭️ 🤞 #loveparkrun🌳

@TVParkReading Much drier this morning 🙌

Rain, sun, rain… the weather can’t decide! But look closely, can you spot the faint rainbow peeking through? 😍🌈

The water is hanging around on our course. So we are cancelled once again tomorrow: 21 February 2026. There is plenty of opportunity to get some parkrun tourism in and still get home in time to cheer on @TeamGB in the Curling and the Halfpipe finals. 🥌🏂 #loveparkrun🌳
