Good evening, thankyou to everyone that has volunteered to help make sure parkrun can go ahead, our roster is full and we are good to go. The route has been checked today and the ice has melted so we are as sure as we can be we will go ahead. As it is parkrun double day, we will be starting the run at 9am prompt to give people time to make their way to the second venue safely, therefore the briefings will get underway around 08:50. Finally time to relax....enjoy your celebrations wherever you maybe, Happy New Year everyone, here's to a parkrun filled new year 😁❤🏃‍♂️🏃🏾‍♀️

Good morning I hope you are all looking forward to the new year. Just one sleep until our extra parkrun and we still need a funnel manager and a few marshals. If you are able yo help us out please let me know 😊

Good afternoon we are hopeful the ice will have melted and we will be good to go for the new years day parkrun...we are still short of a funnel manager, barcode writer downer and a couple of marshals. If you are available to help out please let me know 😊

Don't forget everyone, New Year's Day parkrun will start at 9am PROMPT, to enable those who choose to do the double to get there safely.

Fantastic achievement, well done and congratulations David, from everyone at Barnsley parkrun.

Good Morning all, to clarify this mornings tough decision, it is very rare we do cancel at Barnsley, however, even though we had a team out gritting sections of the course, there was just too much to clear throughout the whole course, the ice was extremely compacted and very thick, it is only through having the interests of safety as top priority that we chose to cancel, apologies to all who turned up, many thanks to the volunteers who arrived and great effort by those who were out there gritting. See you all on NYD, as it is the "double" day, we shall start the run @ 9am PROMPT to enable those going elsewhere afterwards a good chance of making it in time. #DFYB
