The event is being made possible through the generous local support of Team Kennet and West Berkshire Council and parkrun UK's national sponsors. Plus the support of Greenham Common Trust and Greenham and Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust for allowing the event to happen. The Event Director are Jeff Bird and Roeland Mertens, but we will need volunteers each week to ensure

the operation of the event. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in helping out. Please Note: These pages are moderated where the Greenham Common parkrun committee feel necessary.

Well done to all our runners this morning! It was another beautiful (if warm) one. And especially well done to everyone who achieved a milestone or PB today. And great to see so many Newbury 10km shirts out in force!

As always I als want to say massive thank you to all our wonderful volunteers too.

As I said in my briefing, we have been struggling to fill all our volunteer roles over the last month or so. Without all our wonderful volunteers we cant put this event on week after week. So, if you haven’t volunteered over the last 8-10 weeks (or even longer than that!) please can you think about putting in a volunteering stint? There are multiple roles on offer (some allow you to run as well as help), so have a look at our rosta and please let us know if there is a role you’d like to do over the coming weeks.

Park run is literally run on volunteers, so without all our time every so often we can’t keep running it.

Thank you everyone and happy running! See you next week. 🏃‍♀️🏃☺️

The forecast for Parkrun looks great👍 🌞

In 'light' 😉 of this, please take precautions around the sun and wear / bring any sunscreen 🧴, hats 🎩and glasses 😎 with you. We're not having a James Bond theme, but if you are 'undercover' 🥸 then well done.

It may be worth considering bringing a drink 🥛 with you and also consider the welfare of any dogs 🐕‍🦺 you wish to participate with.

Hopefully see you at Greenham Common parkrun.

Huge well done to all 401 finishers today in beautiful conditions on the Common.

Congratulations to our milestone runners today:

25: Madhav Purcell
50: Shirley Wilkinson, Luke Bolland
100: Daniel Brooker, Claire Jones

And 250 for the queen of the Common, and former Run Director, Jane Stewart!

Thanks to all our volunteers today - you all did a great job. I’d particularly like to thank our last minute pacers, Anne and Nga, who both did brilliantly to get so close to their target times with no notice!! And well done to our Duke of Edinburgh Award volunteers - we are so reliant on your help to put on this event.

Many thanks.
