Cannock Chase parkrun

**All sorted now everyone Thank you!!**

Morning everybody!

It’s pinch, punch, first Parkrun of a new month on Saturday and we need to fill a couple of roles to make sure we can go ahead 💪🏻

Currently we are looking for:

2 x finish tokens
1 x marshals

Shout up if you’re able to help out - it should be a *slightly* cooler one this week! Don’t worry if you’ve not volunteered with us before - there’ll be full training and probably some cake too!

🧁🍰🎂An amazing 436 people took part today on the beautiful trails of Cannock Chase, there was an extra incentive this morning as parkrunners and walkers were treated to an abundance of baked goods for the exchanging! Thanks to your generosity, Ginge, Sculli, Nick & Jamie are able to add to their fundraising the AMAZING amount of £750!!!❤️💙

🧁🍰🎂for anyone worried that this fundraising is paying for the cost of the trek in any way, we can assure you that 100% of those costs are being picked up directly by the Fab Four, meaning every penny you donate goes directly to the charity and not on Ginge’s new boots!❤️💙

🍰🧁🎂this morning has shown us the world isn’t the bad place many would have you believe!❤️💙

🍰🧁🎂On behalf of Ginge, Sculli, Nick and Jamie - a HUGE thank you!❤️💙

🌻Happy humpday folks!🌻

In order for us to go ahead this weekend we need a few more volunteers

🦺🦺Marshal x 2
🦺🦺🦺Funnel Manager x3

If ever there was a week to volunteer it would be this one, as there is a humongous baked goods exchange taking place so there will be cake a-plenty!

Let us know in the comments if you can help🙏

As always, thank you from the core team x

🎂🍰🧁Don’t forget the pennies tomorrow folks, Fordy runners are staging a takeover and baked goods exchange to raise money for G, who is trying to raise £20,000 for a new hand. Her gran, Anne, is also running the parkrun course, starting at midnight tonight, and finishing with parkrun tomorrow morning - give her a cheer if your see her!🧁🍰🎂

Cannock Chase parkrun would not exist without the continued support of the wonderful Countryside Rangers who are based up at Marquis Drive. They provide us with storage space for the literally shed-loads of equipment we need each week; they make sure you have somewhere to park your car; they take care of the course to make sure your Saturday parkrun is a safe affair and they are always available for the little emergencies that the weather can throw at us.

Now the Rangers need OUR help. Led by the wonderful Steve Archer, they are trying to raise funds to buy six portable defibrillators. “Six? Why six?” I hear you ask. That’s enough to put a defibrillator on each of the Ranger’s vehicles so that in the event of an emergency they don’t need to go to the scene via the only current unit at the visitor centre. The upshot is that in the event of any emergency, they can be on the scene with vital life-saving equipment in a fraction of the time it currently takes. I hope that nobody reading this ever needs this kind of response but I’m fairly certain that we all know someone who has.

Enough spiel from us, what Steve and the team really need are kind donations from you, me… everyone! 🙂 Click on the link below to go to the GoFund me page for more details of the appeal and please give generously.

Love and hugs, as always…

🍰 WARNING: Attending Cannock Chase parkrun on 25th July may result in the irresistible urge to consume cake... and we're absolutely fine with that! 😄

We're hosting the first of four Baked Goods Exchanges in support of Ginge, Nick, Sculli and Jamie's Kilimanjaro Challenge ahead of our climb in January 2027.

Forget gels and energy bars... this week it’ll all be about brownies, flapjacks, cookies, cupcakes, traybakes and anything else that pairs perfectly with a post-parkrun coffee! ☕🍪

💳 Cash and card ‘exchanges’ accepted

❤️ 100% of the money raised goes directly to Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity and Carter the Brave. Our Kilimanjaro challenge is completely self-funded, so every penny you donate supports these amazing charities.

🎂 Can you help?
We're looking for some star bakers! If you'd be willing to donate a cake, traybake, biscuits, muffins or any other delicious homemade (or shop-bought, we won't judge! 😉) treats, we'd love to hear from you. Every donated bake helps us raise even more for these fantastic causes.

Drop us a message if you can bake or donate something for the stall.

Please come along, bring your appetite, bring your friends, and help us prove that running and cake really do go hand in hand! 🏃🍰
