Today was World Mental Health Day and we all know how good exercise, fresh air, green spaces and company make you feel.
It seems as though parkrun was made for it 💚

Thank you for putting up with last minute run director changes (2for1 on the Kates!) and the slight 'winging it' approach.
The results are now out - done in the afternoon as 1 x Kate was still celebrating her birthday and the other Kate had plans involving Apple Day 🍎🍏

Busy, busy weekend
1. World Mental Health Day - wear green if you want and see how many people you can talk to today, including Gail and the Baton of Hope team at the finish 💚
2. Tea, coffee and chat in the cricket club afterwards
3. Luton Mini Apple day after parkrun (11-3pm) in Stockingstone Meadows at the bottom of Stockingstone Road
And then tomorrow it is the awesome Love Luton RunFest 5K, 10K & Half Marathon.

See you in a while :-)

Evening all,

Just like Pete, we’re still looking for a timekeeper to go ahead on Saturday. Can you help?

Also looking for a bar code scanner (could be a faster finisher) and some marshals to keep us safe on the day.

Message below or email us.

Thanks in advance everyone x

What a cracking morning for a 5km!

Thank you all for a lovely morning and for being so kind to each other and saying thank you to our wonderful volunteers.

Results have been sent to HQ and thank you emails sent too. I’ll update the volunteer roster shortly but we have some October gaps we’d love to fill with you wonderful humans.

I think Mark would have been proud how we celebrated him and continue to do so every week by supporting our wonderful local parkrun.

Big shout out to Steve too for his 200th first finisher token 😳

I’ve had a good day so far - how was your parkrun today?

Today is World Heart Health Day.
A run report will be posted tomorrow including a lot more information but just so that you are aware this Saturday at Luton Wardown parkrun will be bittersweet - whilst we will celebrate with the world as the phenomenon that is parkrun turns 22 (tutus and bringing along 2 friends are suggested) we will also remember the parkrunner extraordinaire that we lost a year ago, Mark Layzell (baseball caps and/or anything Luton Town colours are to be encouraged)
As is volunteering, especially this Saturday at the 5k or Sunday at Wardown junior parkrun.
In the meantime have a look at this

Good evening and happy Sunday everyone!

Fresh from the event yesterday, I’m planning next Saturday’s event and have a few problems that need solving. Could you be my missing link?

These are vital roles that are needed to go ahead. Without them, I have to cancel.
So without further ado, here’s what I need 🙏

⭐️ Timekeeper x 1
⭐️ Some more barcode scanners, only have 1 at the moment.
⭐️ Tail walkers x 2
⭐️ Lots of marshals

Message below or email us at the usual.
Thanks all in advance.
