Norwich parkrun
Event number 758
20th June 2026

Another hot morning for parkrun. The final numbers (‘only’ 484 today) suggest that it was just too hot for some people… so really well done to everyone who managed to complete the course. A great achievement.

We had 56 first timers today, and 17 of those were doing their very first parkrun. We hope you enjoyed it and will come back for more. 28 people got PBs.

Huge congratulations to James Bradfield who completed his 500th parkrun this morning. Whoop! Whoop! James is also a regular volunteer, proving that volunteering doesn’t have to stop you notching up the parkruns! Thank you and well done, James.

We welcomed a hen party today, with the bride-to-be fetchingly decked out as a golden snitch. Unfortunately, we didn’t get your name, but we were all impressed by your ability to run in what looked like a challenging outfit for such heat. 🥵🥵 Hope the wedding day goes well.

A big thank you to all today’s volunteers. It wouldn’t happen without you all.
