Final reminder - we’re cancelled today!

Cancellation news - sorry everyone!

Due to other events in Hanley Park, we will unfortunately have three cancellations in the next few weeks. We've been working with the city council and organisers, but we can't guarantee a safe traffic-free route on these dates, due to the start times and set-up requirements.

13th June - Spitfire Celebration organised by the Friends of Hanley Park
20th June - Stoke On Trent Pride
4th July - Caudwell Children Colour Run

Hanley parkrun will be taking place as usual on the 27th June. Then back with hopefully fewer interruptions on 11th July.

If you're out and about this morning, look out for Gab Stone, who is in the city today as part of his marathon challenge. He will be running through Hanley Park as part of two loops round Stoke to make up marathon distance. Good luck Gab.

Well done to everyone who joined us this morning... hope you've dried out now!
Thanks to all our volunteers- congratulations to Lillian on completing your 50th volunteer milestone.
Great to see Andy and Val back at Hanley parkrun... all the way from 🇦🇺.
