😮 FOUND 😮 FOUND 😮 FOUND😮

Yes you read that right! A finish token has been found in Wantage and handed to our friends at Kingsgrove Woodland junior parkrun
It's not ours or our nearest friends at Didcot parkrun (we've checked).

Whilst we're used to tokens occasionally disappearing, this week there's an extra one in Wantage so if you're missing no.108 let us know 😀 University Parks parkrun Abingdon parkrun Witney parkrun Horspath parkrun Harcourt Hill parkrun Victoria Park parkrun, Newbury Kilkenny Lane Country parkrun

We're wondering how far it's travelled 🤔🤣

Want to help keep these pesky tokens in check? Why not volunteer this week to make sure they all get counted in 😀👇

Event #227 Posted on November 8, 2026 by grovefields This week we travelled to Grove Fields. Last week I completed the Freyne - Explorer 250, but why not carry on with our tourism. The weather was very autumnal, much duller and a tad misty, but thankfully no rain. The run itself was around the meado...

We were also so lucky that it was pacer week and we believe there may have been some PB’s as a result 🤩 As always we welcome our Park Walkers and our Tail walkers who not only ensure no one feels worried about their time but pick up all the kit and carry it back 👏See you next week

227 had a weirdly misty start but we forgot all about that when we spied the new milestone T-shirts 🤩 which one are you heading for??
