Congratulations to all 330 finishers today, numbers are back up now the summer holidays are over.
A massive thank you to all our volunteers, without you there is no parkrun.
Results have been done and should be with you shortly. Don't worry if your final position doesn't match what you heard when you crossed the finish or the token you received, we had to do a few amends to the results. Your time should be correct.
How was your parkrun?

We're almost set for Saturday, but we need a couple more marshals just to cover our mandatory spots. If you can help, please comment below or email us on the usual address, [email protected]
The Love Luton RunFest 5K, 10K & Half Marathon team will be joining us at the finish area on Saturday (which is the 5th, not the 6th as per the flyer) offering discounted entry to next months RunFest.

Event #518 all done.
There was enough gentle rain to keep 259 parkrunners and 32 volunteers cool.
parkrun done, café chat done and then home for breakfast and results processing on a laptop with a LARGE screen. All done by lunchtime.
A lovely parkrun morning topped off by Rodi completing her 250th parkrun in position 250 💚💚
And Geoff, Mr Luton Wardown parkrun, reaching his 450th volunteer milestone 🩷

We have the threat of wet stuff falling from the sky 😮
This is what the lake looked like from the suspension bridge last week, it may look a little different this morning!
See you in a while parkrunners :-)

🩷🧡💜💙 VOLUNTEERS - WE LOVE YOU 🩷🧡💜💙

We currently still have NO timekeepers, and a few more marshals would be nice.
NO timekeeper = NO parkrun (as it is counted as an essential role)
After a summer of full rosters and little RD stress it seems everyone is busy this weekend 😭
If you can help us out on Saturday or junior parkrun on Sunday Luton parkrunners, both large and small, will be eternally grateful.

Please either comment below for the 5k volunteering or email [email protected] or for 2k junior parkrun volunteering email [email protected]

A massive thank you to everyone who has stepped up and volunteered over the summer, it has made being a run director SOOOOOO much easier.
To keep it going for this Saturday we need:
- 2 x timekeepers
- 1 x finish token person
- Some more marshals
Once these are filled we will think about pacers.

We also want to fill the whole of September 😁
Have a look at our future roster (https://www.parkrun.org.uk/lutonwardown/futureroster/), pick a role and email us on [email protected]

A fantastic 246 runners, walkers and joggers completed the course this morning, ably supported by a full volunteer roster (thank you 😊), and a pro finish funnel team!

Results have been submitted to HQ for processing, and should be with you shortly.

There were a couple of anomalies with the barcode scanning - if you do find your position is incorrect please do let us know, either by commenting here, or by emailing in.
