This week despite some light drizzle, 129 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 21 were first timers and 19 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 16 different clubs took part.

We hosted visitors from: Belfast, Bridgend, Caithness, Claudy, Dublin, Kerrykeel, Lisburn, London, Portadown, Swansea. We hope that you all felt welcome and that you enjoyed the run.

We were struggling on Friday to fill the volunteer roster but in the end the event was made possible by 16 volunteers:

Special thanks go to the three people who have stepped forward to fill the outstanding marshal roles for tomorrow.

They have literally saved tomorrow's Derry City parkrun from being cancelled.

We also needed another Barcode scanner - but we just found someone for that role. So we are “good to go” in the morning. Thanks to all the volunteers - especially the four who stepped up at the last minute.

03/06/2026

We urgently need :

- 3x Marshals
two extra marshals are needed for the construction-obstruction.

- 1x Barcode Scanner - could be a fast runner after they finish.

without these remaining volunteers we are facing cancellation!

Derry City parkrun - Event number 603 - 23rd May 2026
This week 142 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 25 were first timers and 19 recorded new Personal Bests.

This week we welcomed runners from Sligo, Dublin, Kilkenny, Stoke, Belfast, Enniskillen, Westmeath, Wokingham and Northumberland. It was a beautiful day for your visit and we hope you enjoyed your run with us today.

A special mention to Niall McCaffrey who completed his 100th milestone event with us today. Niall was supported by all his friends and family. Thank you for the cake at the finish line. Also congratulations to Jordan Finlay who completed his 200th run.

We would like to remind runners to give plenty of room to other path users. We understand that long dog leads are problematic to our event and that responsibility for safety is shared across all path users. However, we must be mindful to give plenty of space to dog walkers, even if that means taking a detour which could affect our time. We would remind everyone that Parkrun should never be considered a race or time trial at the expense of safety. Thank you.

There were a couple of runners we couldn't find on the system today. So if you are missing from the results, please email us your position and barcode number to [email protected]

The event was made possible by 20 volunteers:
Daniel RODGERS • Cecilia DEEHAN • Conor CANAVAN • Noelle MELIA • Conn O'NEILL • Aisling ARMSTRONG • George ROW • Anne DOHERTY • Andy MCINROY • Rosie MCINROY • Paul SCEENY • Ann DALY • Duncan WALKER • Leala-Maia DONNELLY • Ellen KELLY • Conaire HASSON • Kathleen HOLMES • Paddy CUNNINGHAM • Gemma PEYTON • Judith BRADY

**Update: Disaster has been averted. We have now received offers of help and have all the marshal positions filled. Thank you to everyone who got in touch to offer help. Derry City Parkrun will go ahead tomorrow.

Notice of potential cancellation
Please be aware that we are still short of 3 essential marshal volunteers for Saturday. We are at a very late point now on Friday lunchtime where we need to inform everyone of the very real possibility of cancellation. We would advise anyone planning to travel for our event to consider alternative arrangements.
Please can anyone help us avert this situation?
