Our course was looking good this afternoon despite the chilly conditions so we’re still on course for our event tomorrow morning. A course check will take place before the event to make sure that nothing’s changed and that all’s still safe so keep an eye on our posts.

Donations by today’s #parkrun participants at our pop-up cafe in #Machen raised over £100 to help support @Pontyparkrun in replacing equipment lost in recent flooding! Thanks so much to everyone for their support! #loveparkrun

🚨Because of the storm forecast overnight and into tomorrow, we’ve made the decision to cancel tomorrow’s event. We know this will be disappointing, especially with recent cancellations, but as ever, keeping volunteers and runners safe always comes first.
