What a morning at London Fields! A fresh but bright start set the tone for another brilliant event, and we were thrilled to welcome a record-breaking 65 juniors– our highest attendance to date! Thank you all for being part of it.

Amongst our runners, hoppers, and skippers, we had 17 first timers to London Fields parkrun, including 13 brand new parkrunners joining us for their very first event ever.

A huge welcome to you all – we hope this is just the beginning of your parkrun journey!

The conditions clearly suited many of you, with 14 personal bests recorded – well done to everyone who pushed for a new time.

This week’s event ran smoothly under the excellent stewardship of Mas, our ever-reliable Run Director. Not only did Mas lead the charge on the day, but he stayed behind afterward to make sure all the finish tokens were tidied, sorted, and available up to 100 – all in preparation for next week’s local school takeover. Huge thanks to Mas for going the extra mile behind the scenes.

Speaking of volunteers, GoodGymers Sarah and Rue gave their usual support out on the course. Sarah is so consistent that she now has her own eponymous marshal point – a true London Fields legend!

Some of our regulars were off tackling the Shoreditch 10K – we hope you all had a brilliant race and look forward to seeing you back in the park soon.

Next week’s shaping up to be another exciting event as students and staff from a local school will be taking over volunteering duties to support one of their teachers. It’s bound to be a good one, so spread the word, bring a friend, and don’t forget your barcode!

As always, a massive thank you to all our volunteers – we couldn’t do this without you.

See you next Sunday at London Fields!
