We're all set for tomorrow and looking forward to seeing you in the morning!

🦺🦺It's Friday and it's almost parkrun day but we still have spaces to fill on the roster before we can safely go ahead.

We need marshalls particularly but it would be great if you could support us in any of the vacant roles. Please drop us a message if you think you can help out tomorrow.

If you've not volunteered before, it is good fun, we'll show you the ropes and you can get parkrun volunteering merch. Thanks!

πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ parkrun is celebrating its one millionth event this weekend since it started back in 2004 at Bushy Park.

Here at Dudley this weekend we'll have had 376 installments of parkrun since we started nearly ten years ago back in January 2017.

Whether you joined us for the first time in 2017 or in 2026 we look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Happy 80th birthday to one of our regular volunteers, Jeff. Hope you’re having a good day!

πŸ‘‹πŸŒ„ Morning all. It's the start of another week and we've already got our eyes set on next Saturday morning.

When it comes to our volunteer roster, things were getting a wee bit tight last Friday, so it would be great to be in a healthier position this week. We have plenty of different roles you can try from scanning to marshalling and from timekeeping to giving out tokens.

If you'd like to help out this week (or any of the following weeks), just leave us a comment here. And if you've not tried it before and would like to give volunteering a go for the first time, let us know. We'll show you the ropes - and it's great fun too 😊.

Dudley Parkrun #375

Ok so the weather wasn't exactly playing ball this morning but that didn't stop the 210 hardy runners and walkers from lacing up their trainers and hitting the track. If you were one of them then well done, it was great to see you!

Our last minute plea for help worked a bit too well so we had loads of volunteers, each one making sure the event ran smoothly and supporting the participants. I had several comments from tourists today who said what a great event it was and how much they enjoyed it. They said the support was fantastic, so a big thank you to you all πŸ‘

Our tourists this week were from Abergele, Worcester, Birmingham, Northwich, Chasewater and Braintree. There were no running milestones but Joseph Janjua volunteered for the 150th time today! πŸ₯³

Thanks to Alison for the pics (I was very remiss in my photography duties this morning πŸ™ˆ)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and if you're able to volunteer next week then please drop us a message.

No sugar-coating it guys, our roster looks terrible for the weekend.

We still need:

at least 8 marshals
2 timekeepers
2 on finish tokens
1 barcode scanner
If we can't fill these spots, bottom line is we will not be holding our event this week,

For the past few months we seems to have relied very heavily on the same small team of regular volunteers who come every week whatever the weather to help out for which we are extremely grateful - the flip side to this is that the vast majority of runners here at Dudley very rarely or never choose to give back and help out.

Please bear in mind parkrun relies on the goodwill of volunteers to go ahead. If you've not volunteered in a while or never volunteered please consider helping us out this week. Comment below or drop us an email at [email protected]

Happy Global Running Day Parkrunners! πŸ₯³

For those of you who don't know, Parkrun reached a bit of a milestone last weekend. Darren Wood from South London became the first person in the world to reach 1000 parkruns and earn the mythical yellow t shirt. That works out to 5000k over 22years!

He started doing Parkrun in 2004 and what makes his achievement even more impressive is that he's clocked up 400 volunteer credits along the way! A true Parkrun ambassador 🀩

So whether you're just starting out on your Parkrun journey or are a seasoned regular, come and join us this weekend at Dudley, we'd love to see you ❀️
