Great to welcome a couple of town councillors to the Holmebrook Valley junior parkrun this morning.

The weather was perfect with a strong Dronfield Running Club volunteer team, helping support HVP’s core volunteers. Really positive to show what JPR can offer a community

This Tuesday, we’re joining the ‘This Girl Can’ and England Athletics “Lift the Curfew” campaign — a movement highlighting the challenges faced by women running alone in the dark and encouraging all of us to make running feel safer and more inclusive.

This run is for everyone — men and women running together in support of each other, standing side by side to show that no one should feel unsafe doing what they love. 💪✨

We’ll have our usual group runs available:
🏃‍♀️ 5 miles
🏃 6 miles
🏃‍♂️ 7 miles
🏃‍♀️ 8 miles
Whether you’re a regular, returning after a break, or completely new — come and be part of something bigger.

Let’s light up the streets of Dronfield and run together to 💜 🐝

This Girl Can's campaign, Let’s Lift The Curfew, launched in October 2023, to showcase women’s stories and concerns around getting active outdoors in the darker months. Alongside this, it called on wider society to acknowledge their role in making getting active outdoors safer for women.

After much reflection and number crunching, the decision has been made to pause the Big Dipper.

As much as we love putting on the event, sadly it's just not feasible for the race to continue in its current format.

Dronfield Running Club are currently looking at ways to expand their race offering, so keep an eye on their socials for future events in S18.

Thank you all for your support over the years and daring to ride, we couldn't have done it without you.
