Bexley parkrun

07/09/2026

As of today, this week's volunteer roster has some gaps, and the following roles still to be filled:

Timekeeper x2

Barcode Scanning at least 3

Funnel Manager x2

Finish Tokens x1

Nursing an injury? Fancy a rest? Coming to watch? Experienced or new volunteers, come and have a go. Your participation is always welcomed by the Run Directors in supporting the staging of each week’s parkrun event.

Please check the live roster page https://www.parkrun.org.uk/bexley/futureroster to see where the available slots are, and by clicking the role name you'll also find a simple description of the role.

Where applicable, please download the parkrun virtual volunteer app (available from your app store), to have some practice before the day. The app is required for timekeepers and scanners - and any marshals/tail walkers must carry a phone in case of emergency.

Hopefully you can help out this week, but if not - we can always add you for a date in the near future.

We mentioned this on Saturday's pre-event brief, here are the details of the Bexley Nepalese Community's walk to support all affected by the terrible floods in Nepal last week.

This week we've had a run report sent in from a long time Bexley parkrunner, as he celebrates his 400th parkrun! There were plenty of other milestones and even a wedding celebration too! Take a read at:

400 parkruns and there’s no place like home Posted on August 30, 2026 by bexleyoffice This weekend John Donovan was one of our milestone runners and has taken the time to share his thoughts for the run report, thanks John! Firstly, a massive thank you for the fantastic volunteers remaining cheerfu...

Huge thanks to the volunteers this morning in the rain. Well done to all our finishers too!
We did get everyone scanned correctly, but there may be a couple of 🌧️ precipitation related anomalies ☔ on timings. If you're majorly affected please drop us an email and we'll try and correct.
Have a good bank holiday!

Course check all good this morning and dare I say it we have had a little bit of rain this week just gone so some tinges of green have come back to the grass and Danson's starting to look less like sub-Sahara savannah and more like a UK park !

The noise from the parakeets was deafening but it should have calmed down a bit by 9.00.

A bit cooler this morning and there's a strong chance of more rain today.

Enjoy your run and your Bank Holiday weekend.

Best wishes

Penny & Rich

Well as we wonder what weather we'll have for Saturday, a quick glance at the upcoming roster shows a good spread of sunshine with a couple of cloudy spots.
Could you be the silver lining to our clouds? Just looking for a marshal, funnel manager and a couple of scanners.
Drop us an email if you can help to get added in: [email protected].
Thank you! 🌞☁️☔

Good morning Parkrunners and Parkwalkers!

Thanks Rich and Penny for this week’s course check:

Thankfully we've had a bit of rain this week so the course is looking a little greener and possibly a little less firm in the grassed areas.

All was good this morning and nothing untoward to report.

All of the few remaining tents from the Spark in the Park by the Bean Road entrance have been taken just a few portaloos & large waste bins remain, but nothing to trouble the Saturday morning parkrunner.

We noticed a few anglers' tents alongside the bank of the lake but it was all fairly quiet this morning; perhaps because the temperature has dropped and it was slightly cooler early doors this morning.

Good luck stay well and enjoy your weekend.

We still need a marshall at the top of the woods and a bar code scanner for Saturday. Get in touch if you can help.

Good morning all, please see this week's course check. See you soon

Hi guys,

Still doing the rain dance without any noticeable signs of success. Although we did feel a few brief drops of rain as we walked round the course. I thought it was sweat at first !

Course check all good this morning and again nothing untoward to report. A few anglers had set their rods up along the bank of the lake but other than that the route is clear.

It's likely to be another very hot one so stay safe and stay hydrated

All the best enjoy your run, your weekend and the coming week.

Best wishes,

Penny & Rich
