🌞 Bramley parkrun #473 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

What a fantastic Saturday morning at Bramley parkrun 🌿☀️

This week, 215 runners, joggers and walkers completed the course, supported by a brilliant team of 26 volunteers 🙌💛

A huge thank you to this week’s Run Director, Tom Bell 🦺👏, who made sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone was welcomed, supported and looked after from start to finish.

Congratulations to Phil Boynton, who was first across the line in an impressive 18:09 🥇, and to Charlotte Corrigan, our first female finisher in a fantastic 19:58 🌟

We also had a very special birthday to celebrate 🎂🎉 Happy 14th birthday to Matilda Route! We hope you had a wonderful day and enjoyed starting your celebrations with us at Bramley parkrun 🥳💐

A big congratulations also goes to the stag party who joined us for the morning 🤵🎊 The stag deserves extra credit for keeping his fancy dress on for the entire course 👗👏, while one of his groomsmen showed full commitment by completing the course in under 30 minutes while wearing a full suit 🕴️🔥 Now that is dedication!

As always, a huge thank you to all of our amazing high-vis heroes 🦺❤️ Whether you were marshalling, timekeeping, scanning, handing out tokens, managing the funnel, taking photographs or helping behind the scenes, parkrun simply couldn’t happen without you.

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make another memorable morning at Bramley parkrun 🌳✨

📢 Please remember that Bramley parkrun is cancelled on Saturday 1 August 2026 because the venue is unavailable.

Good morning.
We are still on need of someone to do the first timers welcome brief tomorrow morning.
2 more marshals would be awesome as well.

Let us know if you can help us.

🌞 Bramley parkrun #471 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

What a fantastic way to kick off July! ☀️🌿 We welcomed 191 runners, joggers and walkers to Bramley parkrun this week, all made possible by our incredible team of 34 volunteers 🙌💛
A huge congratulations to everyone who took part! 👏 First across the line was Samesh Chotai in an impressive 17:05 🥇, while Emma Ballantyne was our first female finisher in a brilliant 20:45 🌟

A big thank you goes to this week's Run Director, Mark Lawson 🦺💙. Mark kept everything running smoothly from start to finish, making sure volunteers knew their roles, participants felt welcomed, and another successful Bramley parkrun was enjoyed by all. Thank you, Mark, for giving up your Saturday morning to make it all happen! 👏

We also have to give a special mention to Steve Fairbairn, who certainly brought some extra entertainment to the funnel this week! 🎭😂 As Funnel Manager, Steve didn't just keep everyone moving efficiently through the finish area – he fully embraced the role by creating his own custom funnel manager motivational speech & uniform for the occasion! 👕⭐ Safe to say it raised plenty of smiles and added to the fun atmosphere that makes Bramley parkrun so special.

As always, a massive thank you to every one of our amazing high-vis heroes 🦺❤️. Whether you were marshalling, timekeeping, scanning barcodes, handing out finish tokens, tail walking or helping behind the scenes, parkrun simply couldn't happen without you.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another brilliant Saturday morning at Bramley parkrun 🌳✨
We can't wait to do it all again next week!

Good morning.
It’s cool at the moment but is expected to become warmer.
Some lovely shade on the uphill flat & through the trees with a nice breeze too
See you all for the start at 9am.

Extreme heat considerations
Hi everyone,
With high temperatures upon us across West Leeds we wanted to send a quick note as you look forward to tomorrow’s event.
The wellbeing of our volunteers and parkrunners is paramount.

We will complete our course check as normal about 8am. If we have to cancel due to the weather extreme weather it is something we will not be taking lightly.
• Terrain: we have very little shade on our course. So you will be in the sun 90% of the time.
• Volunteers: Marshals, finish funnel volunteers are standing in the sun for an hour or more. Keeping them safe and comfortable is essential.
• Our community: Extreme heat is a much bigger strain for children, older parkrunners, walkers and on our hilly route. We are expecting children & their families from Bramley St Peter’s Primary School completing their M5 programme. With this in mind & the potential extreme temperatures please be respectful and keep T-shirts on.
Dogs at our event: Our four legged friends have a much harder time in the heat than we do. As a responsible dog owner it is your decision whether your dog does or doesn’t take part - there will be water for them on the course on the top field and at the finish area. On particularly warm mornings, the safest option might be to leave them at home. The RSPCAhas some excellent online advice on recognising the signs of heatstroke that you can share with your community.

Many Thanks in advance.

Jean & the Bramley parkrun team.
