We were very saddened to hear of the passing of Oak Hill parkrunner Gar Yin Tang (pictured below left).

We'll pay tribute to her in the morning.

Remember not to park in East or West Walk, but use the car parks in the park or on Osidge Lane.

We look forward to seeing you all.

Huge thanks to Paul Kain for taking and sharing this brilliant video - and musical accompaniment - of our parkrun last Saturday.

If you ran, jogged, walked or volunteered with us, there's a good chance you'll spot yourself here - enjoy!

This Saturday is our latest link-up with Barnet and District Athletics Club for their membership drive.

These have been very successful in recent months and strengthened the links between us.

If you want to know more, talk to any of their members on Saturday in the blue & red tops.
