Not every day you get royal approval at parkrun 👑

This morning, His Majesty The King joined Sandringham parkrunners in the cafe to offer his congratulations, including to the Sandringham 5k Your Way, MOVE Against Cancer Charity, group as they marked their one-year anniversary.

Anyone coming along to Heslington 5K Your Way tomorrow, see details of access to car park. Need to approach from roundabout near petrol station rather than the traffic lights near B&Q.

The roster is looking good ahead of tomorrow!

We are in need of a back up timer if anyone would like to do this - let us know via Facebook or email.

We look forward to seeing your Yorkshire marathon and 10 mile tees!

Please remember to park in Kimberlow Car Park!

There are some works along Kimberlow Lane & so if you are travelling from the east of York ring road etc, Kimberlow Lane can be accessed by continuing down Hull Road until the roundabout, taking a left, then going straight across the roundabout 200m down the road to then reach Kimberlow Lane. (marked out by blue lines)

For those entering the roundabout from the west - the route is fine and there should not be any interruption.

See you all tomorrow!

Congratulations to Samantha Broadbent who completed her 100th parkrun this weekend. She started parkrun after her cancer diagnosis and has found the physical activity a great help in her recovery from treatment. She is now an Ambassador for 5k your way too. She was joined by 3 other participants and 2 spectators who came to cheer her on and who all joined her for breakfast after.

'’Each 5K Your Way event has dedicated ambassadors who serve as friendly faces and guides for participants. These ambassadors will be there to meet and greet you at a designated meeting spot, ensuring that you feel welcomed and supported. Some of the ambassadors may join you in walking or running the 5K distance, providing companionship and motivation along the way.
After the walk or run, the ambassadors will gather everyone together for a well-deserved opportunity to socialize. This post-event gathering is a chance to connect with others, share experiences, and enjoy some much-needed hot drinks and cake. It creates a warm and inviting atmosphere where participants can find support, build friendships, and feel a sense of community.''
