Celebrating 14 years of running at Crane! We had a great time with cakes, fruit kebabs and more today.
Thanks to everyone who came together to put this in place and for continuing to support our little spot of sunshine. ❤️🌞❤️

Even the forecast rain didn't show up! We had over 230 runners today and added in pacers too.

See you all soon

We are not just a pretty park!!

Sometimes we forget the effort and time that goes into being a volunteer for our local Crane parkrun!

Today the bibs got a wash as well as the tokens, unfortunately its highlighted that our pack of tokens is not complete and we are missing 128 & 129. So if you know someone that has them, we would love to have them back.

are celebrating 13 Years, please come and celebrate with us next Saturday - there will be cake at the end!!

Today was our #662 run with 236 runners & walkers. Of those we had a record number of Parkrun tourists 63 from very near and far away. 7 First timers to Parkrun I hope we see you again. 21 PBs were in the bag today so well done everyone. Special thank you to our 17 volunteers, we could not do this without help.
