As these photos sent in by our intrepid on course reporter show Storm Claudia has made everything a bit wet. The top path is getting muddy with lots of leaves so take care & listen out for any warnings at the briefing.
🦺 We could do with more marshals. If you can help email allypally@parkrun.com

We may be off this Saturday (1/11/25) but you can still get your #parkrun volunteering fix by helping out at Priory Park juniors (@prioryparkparkrun.bsky.social) on Sunday. Their roster is suffering from halftermitis!
Email: prioryparkjuniors@parkrun.com if you can help. Thanks!

It’s that time of year again when we give way to the Ally Pally Fireworks Festival. Lots of other parkruns will be affected by similar events so remember to check before travelling.

Great to see some Ally Pally regulars helping out at our junior neighbours. #loveparkrun
Fantastic response to the call for volunteers meant it all worked great today. Results here www.parkrun.org.uk/priorypark-j... including 11 personal bests and 13 first timers at Priory Park juniors! Some top token sorting too!

😀 We’re back! 😀
After our break we return on Saturday, 26th. The volunteer appeal has gone out & our roster is waiting.
We look forward to seeing everyone, but as you can see not even Kate Bush will be running up that hill at the moment. We’ll monitor & update as necessary.
See you on Saturday.🤞

We’re still off tomorrow but with an amber weather warning for thunderstorms it’s a good moment to remind anyone travelling to check: www.parkrun.org.uk/cancellations/

As usual many thanks to our volunteers. 👏👏👏
We had a few gremlins in the results, but they should be fine now. 🤞

Good news from our friends at @oakhillparkrun.bsky.social as whilst we may be cancelled on the 12th July they will be on.

We are both off on the 5th, and in our case the 19th as well.
#parkrun #loveparkrun
Oak Hill parkrun is cancelled on Saturday 5 July because of the #EastBarnetFestival taking place in the park.

We were due to also be off on 12 July, but that event will now go ahead. 😃

Thanks to everyone who joined us today to parkrun/walk, & volunteer. Our 403 finishers set a new record for May.
Some people may have a different position to their token, but the times are correct. It got a bit hectic on the finish line! 😱
We’ll catch up on the month’s events soon. #loveparkrun

*** CANCELLATION NEWS ***
As expected there will be no Ally Pally parkrun on July 5th, 12th, & 19th due to the concerts & the Kaleidoscope Festival being held in the park.
🎸🥁🎷🎺 🕺 💃

Some of our neighbours will also be cancelled then so as always do check before travelling.

Congratulations to all the parkrunners and volunteers at @prioryparkparkrun.bsky.social this morning. Some of the Ally Pally team were there and can confirm that it was a) busy, & b) a lot of fun. 😀
And yes, there was funnel chat over coffee!!! #loveparkrun #parkrun
On this note: our 300th today and we had...131 finishers! Smashed the record so thanks to everyone who volunteered and everyone who came to parkrun!
We had 123 participants at yesterday's Priory Park junior parkrun! Is that a record? Er...not quite! We had 124 on 1 March 2020! So if just two more than Sunday's people come we'll beat that!
May 4, 2025 at 4:20 PM
We’ll have a roundup for the past few weeks over the Bank Holiday but today’s 401 was our 8th time over 400, and a new record for a May Ally Pally parkrun. Incidentally, we set a new April record three times last month. The words “double funnel” are being whispered. #loveparkrun #parkrun

Worry not chocolate over-indulgers! Priory Run junior parkrun is indeed on this Easter Sunday - 2km in the probably sunshine (?) will do us all good. If you want to volunteer drop us an e-mail: info here: www.parkrun.org.uk/priorypark-j...

Another sunny April Ally Pally parkrun & another record!
Last week’s turnout is no longer no. 10 on the all time list, nor the highest April attendance having been replaced by today’s 389 finishers. 📈
We had a bit of a scramble for volunteers so huge thanks to everyone who helped. 👏👏👏

Today is the 15th anniversary of the start of junior parkrun. All the more reason to come along today to Priory Park junior parkrun! 0900 start near the tennis courts (N8 8LN)!
April 6, 2025 at 6:21 AM
A quick post to note that today’s AP parkrun attendance of 382 was our 10th highest ever, and the highest turnout in April, beating the 356 from April 2018.
That’s a lot of tokens to sort - “we’re going to need a bigger table”.
More in due course. www.parkrun.org.uk/allypally/re...
