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: [email protected] 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.

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.🤞

And that’s a wrap for the first half of 2025. Well done to all our finishers today. 🥵
As usual many thanks to our volunteers. 👏👏👏
We had a few gremlins in the results, but they should be fine now. 🤞

Many condolences to you and your family. Thank you for joining us and it’s good to know that we were able to give some comfort to you.
There’s a lot more to parkrun than those laps of the park. 🧡
Take care.

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

Thanks! We had one in the past and are trying to remember how it worked! Our finish area is a bit different now as well. We’ll start with extending the funnel, but may well be in touch. An excuse for a visit to Finsbury. 🙂

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

Priory Park junior parkrun @prioryparkparkrun.bsky.social · May 4

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!

Priory Park junior parkrun @prioryparkparkrun.bsky.social · Apr 28

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!

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)!

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...

Well done to the PPj team and everyone who donated. 👏👏👏
Whilst we hope you never have to use it, as we know from Ally Pally parkrun these AEDs can prove to be priceless. ❤️

96 runners today with 28 new personal bests and three first timers! 💓We also have an amazing announcement: thanks to the huge generosity of parents, guardians and volunteers, we've raised enough to buy a new defibrillator💓! This is required by parkrun and might save someone's life. Massive thanks!
