Thanks to Warren for this weeks run report!

Run report 12 Sep 2026 Event 691 Posted on September 14, 2026 by Milton Country parkrun Team 'Milking it at Milton!' Having been away from here for so long (Jan 2024) and needing a close parkrun to my Mum's House I had a real longing to return to Milton Country park. Naturally the weather was much b...

Well done to the 367 of you who completed Milton Country parkrun this morning and thank you to the 27 volunteers who made it possible!

Thank you also to everyone for listening so well to the run briefing this morning. We know it can be tempting to chat to friends during it but it's really important we all listen, even if you run the course each week. A few key reminders for Milton Country parkrun.
- Please run on the left, to allow faster runners to pass on the right. Including on the first loop, where everyone is settling in to position.
- Please try and seed yourself at the start. We are now regularly busy again, which is great! However, it does mean that for the first kilometer the course there are lots of you on a narrow path. Having people moving at a similar pace is much safer for everyone.
- If you run with headphones, please ensure you can still hear others around you. People will often call to let everyone know when the super speedy people at the front are coming. This isn't done with the intention of intimidating anyone, its done to try and keep everyone safe. Like wise, those with buggies, will often call out when passing, again with the intention of keeping everyone safe.
- After your run, please walk back on the righthand side of the path. This allows those who are still running to have a clear route through to the finish.
- And finally, keep having fun and feel free to join us for a coffee after your run in the Grounds Café or Phoenix Trust Milton monthly pop up cafe!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you next week! Julia (your dyslexic run reporter)

I'm a very happy Volunteer Coordinator and cake lover. Not only do we have a full set* of help for Saturday, it's also a pop up phoenix cafe day aswell as grounds cafe!
*When I say full set we have space for some help to clear up after the run. Come and see me (Jen VC) or Mike (our Run Director) and we can tell you what we need and give you a volunteer credit for it!

We are really looking forward to Park Run on Saturday. Thank you for making last time such a success we will have the same format again but hopefully you will see the big changes to the new building !!!

Happy back to school! Can you help us put some people in our finish funnel?
This weeks VC Mike is very happy (we think) to be back teaching, but we can make him even happier by helping him fill the roster for Saturday. We're in need of a marshal and a few more people to help at the finish with giving out tokens and scanning.
If you want to run and volunteer you can help scan (if you're speedy) or sorting tokens too!
Current roster is here https://www.parkrun.org.uk/miltoncountry/futureroster/

Thanks to all our volunteers, runners and walkers today. It was a lovely Dolly parkrun, with two volunteer milestones on the funnel. Geoff Meads on his 100th and Tim Davies on his 50th.
See you all next week!

Here you come again for another week of Parkrunning! A coat of many colours is not required but we are looking for some people to be working 9-5 (or 8:40-10ish) at MCp on Saturday and I will always love you.

Jolene is welcome, but please don’t take my tokens away.

Forecast for Sat is a bit cooler, but we’re hoping not baby it’s cold outside.

No marshals are required for our islands in the stream but we may need someone to walk the (finish funnel) line like they’re king of the road, possibly with Joshua.

Actually our volunteers are fabulous so we don’t need many more, just another marshal or 2, a funnel manager and some more help to sort tokens. The volunteer roster page can be checked at {{rosterLink}

RIP Dolly. We'll be letting you borrow special pink high Viz to wear in her memory. Sequins and cowboys hats not mandatory but encouraged.

21/08/2026

We need help tomorrow! Can you join our happy crew?
Looking for another timekeeper, someone to help give out finish tokens, some barcode scanners and people to help clear up and sort tokens after running.
If you can help comment below or email us with your A number at the usual address and we'll get back you you this afternoon. [email protected]

Well done to all out runners, walkers and volunteers today. We had 77 first timers, I hope you all enjoyed the cooler temperatures. We also had a few people taking part who are off to Cambridge United Football Club courtesy of parkrun sponsor Brooks for the football later. We're hoping for a great start to the season.
Special mention to today's tail walker Sharen who was doing her 50th volunteer.
If you were in postion 197 and didn't get your result let us know and we'll add you in. Your barcode doesn't exist!

Blimey it’s hot 🥵
Just a warning as the heatwaves and drought continue. We know we’re one of the shadiest parkrun’s around, but just be aware the dust on course is getting worse, and in places our lovely mud has turned to sand. So if you struggle with your lungs or breathing take this into account when deciding where to parkrun until we get some rain, and if you need any medications don’t forget to bring it along.
As always look out for each other during the run, and if heat running isn’t for you we have space for a few more marshals on course.
