Gunpowder parkrun

Under blue skies, runners, walkers, buggies, volunteers and paws took to the course yesterday. Congratulations to Waltham Cross Playing Field junior parkrun ED Richard for his 50th volunteer and 250th run. Huge thanks to the runners who came together and supported during an incident this morning. All is now well and a testimony to the community we’ve built at Gunpowder. 🧡
Next week will be a busy one! We will be celebrating parkrun’s 22nd birthday, along with our community cafe in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. We will be collecting donations for Broxbourne foodbank, trainer recycling and, of course, pacers. parkrun will always be free, and there is no expectation for you to donate but we’d be very grateful if you are able to.
We have increased our available pacer bibs, which are now available from 19 minutes up to 45mins in one minute increments as well as a 50 min pacer.
Our future rosters need some volunteer love, so please take a look and drop us an email. The parkrun app is the one place where you can check your results and offer to volunteer.
We mentioned that Christmas Day parkrun is a possibility once again as we have an RD willing to volunteer, but with 4 opportunities to parkrun over 9 days, we will need the community to come together and support a safe event. It’s NEVER too early to put yourself on the nice list!
Have a great week.
