Ther...

Saturday 22nd August. There will be no London Underground services on the District or Hammersmith & City lines to Barking. If you normally travel this way please check tfl.gov.uk for alternative routes and allow plenty of extra time for your journey.

A bit of a long shot,but this fairly distinctive bottle was left in the cafe today after Barking junior parkrun . We have it with our kit, available on Saturday otherwise we will pass it on to juniors for next Sunday.

Hi everyone could you please help us out by either time keeping or tokens

This is the link for the latest run report. Have a look you might have got a mention ( a lot of you did).

news | Barking parkrun Barking parkrun #657 11th July 2026 Posted on July 12, 2026 by barkingoffice We start with thanks to our volunteers this week. At the start of the week i think we had 3 or 4 volunteers, as quite a few of our regular helpers were unavailable. Whilst normally this does not cause us too many sleepless....

UPDATE:: Numerous holes have been filled in and the road is now open as normal.

Due to roadworks you will be unable to access our car-park in South Park Drive via Longbridge Road (A124) until Saturday 22nd August at the earliest. If you are planning to visit us by car before then you can only approach the car-park by travelling south along South Park Drive (i.e. from Ilford) so please allow extra time and plan your journey in advance.

Barking regulars will know Kieran O'Hara (you've probably seen the back of him because he regularly finishes in around 15:30).
Huge congratulations to Kieran on being selected to represent England in the Commonwealth Games men's T20 1500m which took place on Monday evening.

Glasgow 2026 Get ready for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Find the daily schedule, venue information, and ticket updates for Glasgow 26.

UPDATE - the owners have now reclaimed their lost property.
Do you get the feeling that something is missing in your life? Then maybe you left your backpack behind today. Perhaps you even left both of them? They will be available to collect from us at next Saturday's run, though if you need yours in a hurry we may be able to arrange for you to collect it tomorrow morning at Barking junior parkrun if you can let us know beforehand

It’s the last Saturday of the month so once again we will be welcoming 5K Your Way Move Against Cancer to Barking for their end-of-month run with us. Afterwards they’ll be meeting at the newly reopened Lakeside café in Barking Park. ☕🌳

Whether you've walked, jogged, run, volunteered, or simply want to meet others affected by cancer, they’d love to see you. Come along for a friendly chat, a hot drink, and the chance to connect with people who understand.
