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

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.

😀 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’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

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...

In a controversial move we are publishing this week’s infographic only some 36 hours after the results were processed. 😱
Yesterday’s event had the highest number of finishers for a March Ally Pally parkrun, beating the previous record set in 2019. 📈 #loveparkrun

Special mention to co-ED Maria on her V250 milestone, & to a rather younger volunteer starting her parkrun journey! 👏👏👏

CANCELLED 11/1/25
After an inspection this morning Ally Pally parkrun is cancelled due to the amount of ice on the course. With temperatures set to remain at or below freezing there is unlikely to be any improvement.
This is disappointing but the safety of parkrunners & volunteers must come first.

It will come as no surprise that we are cancelling our New Year’s Day event. This is for the safety of our parkrunners and volunteers. With a yellow warning of wind and predicted gusts of over 50mph plus a lot of trees it is the only sensible option.

After much discussion tomorrow’s Ally Pally parkrun is cancelled due to Storm Darragh. With all the trees on the course it seems the prudent course to take, for parkrunners & volunteers.
We’ll be talking to Bounds Green Food Bank about rearranging their visit.
