04/06/2026

A little Thursday thank you to all the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends who bring our junior runners every Sunday. 💛

You're showing them that movement is fun, that community matters, and that getting outside on a Sunday morning beats screen time any day. We see you and we appreciate you!

🏃What a weekend for running in Dublin! 🎉

With the VHI Women's Mini Marathon also taking place yesterday, hats off to any of our parkrun families who laced up twice. We hope you're enjoying a well-earned rest today!

And what better way to round off a big running weekend than with 49 young runners taking on Cabinteely Park this morning! ☀️

🥇 Congratulations to Alex on taking first place, with Harry and April close behind in second and third. Brilliant running from all three!

A massive welcome to our first-timers this week: Alex, April, Daire, Evan, Emily, Morgan, Ben, Conor, Audrey, Ryan, Parker, Paraic, Conn, Luke, Molly, Sophie, Dara, Zach, Michael and Jennifer. It's so wonderful to see so many new faces joining us! We hope to see you all again next Sunday 💚

PBs all round this week too: Well done to Oisin, Olivia, Zara, Fionn, Aaron, Noah L, Quin, Max G, Noah D, Jacob, Lia, Chloe, John, Joshua, Max R, Colm and Mollie ⏱️

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who make every event possible. Special recognition this week goes to Eimear, who has reached an amazing 100 volunteer credits 🌟, and to the wonderful Martina, who is at a jaw-dropping 250 volunteer credits 🏆

🌟 Calling all our Cabinteely junior superstars (and their grown-ups)! 🌟

Did you know that volunteering at junior parkrun is just as much fun as running it? 🙌
Whether your child loves running every Sunday, comes along to cheer on a sibling, or just isn't feeling the 2k that day... there's a brilliant way for them to be part of the action: volunteering! 💛

Our junior volunteers have already been amazing as photographers 📸, marshals 👋, and tail walkers 🚶‍♀️ and there are even more roles to try:

✨ Warm-up leader (get the whole event moving!)
✨ Course check (a pre-run adventure around the park!)
✨ Setup (help us get everything ready)
✨ Token sorting (the satisfying job everyone loves)
✨ Close down (be part of the team that wraps it all up)

Younger volunteers are very welcome with a grown-up alongside them — it's a lovely thing to do together as a family. And here's some exciting news from parkrun HQ: from July, junior volunteers will be recognised with their very own milestone system, celebrating every contribution from 10 volunteers onwards! 🏅

So if you've got a child who:
👟 Brings a sibling along but doesn't always want to run
👟 Loves being part of a team
👟 Wants to try something new
👟 Is curious about how it all comes together
…we'd love to have them on the roster! 🧡

Reply to this post or send us a message — we'll find a role that suits them perfectly. 💬

New to Cabinteely Junior parkrun? Welcome! 🌟

Before your child's first run, there are two quick things to sort:

1️⃣ Register for a free parkrun barcode at parkrun.ie/register — one barcode per child, and it works at every junior parkrun and 5k parkrun in the world.

2️⃣ Bring the barcode with you on Sunday — printed out or saved on a phone. Without it, we can't record your child's time or give them their well-earned milestone wristbands (11, 21, 50, 100, 250 runs!).

At the finish line, your child will be handed a finish token. Hand that token and the barcode to our lovely volunteers at the funnel, and that's it — time recorded, results emailed later that morning.

See you Sunday at 9:30am in Cabinteely Park! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

A huge well done to our brilliant volunteer Mandy, who completed the Virtual London Marathon on 3 May! 🏃‍♀️🏅

26.2 miles is no small feat, and we're so proud to have her as part of our Cabinteely Junior parkrun family. What an incredible achievement! 👏👏👏

From all of us at Cabinteely Juniors: Congratulations Mandy, you absolute legend! 🎉

🙋 We need volunteers — even just for one Sunday!

Cabinteely Junior parkrun runs on the goodwill of our amazing volunteer community, and we're always glad to have extra hands. Whether you can help regularly or just want to give it a go on a single morning, you are so welcome!

Volunteering takes just one hour on a Sunday morning and there are roles to suit everyone:
🚦 Marshalling
⏱️ Timekeeping
📲 Barcode scanning
🏅 Finish token management
🚶 Tailwalking

No experience needed — we'll show you the ropes on the day.

If you're interested, send us a message here or simply come and chat to us on Sunday morning. You can find more information here 👇

Every volunteer makes a difference to the kids and families who come through Cabinteely Park each week. We'd love to have you join us! 💚

💚 Free. Every week.

Parkrun was built on a simple idea: that getting outside, moving your body, and being part of a community shouldn't cost anything. No membership fees. No sign-up costs. No "first session free." Just show up, run, and belong.

For families, that matters more than ever. In a world where everything seems to come with a price tag, there's something quietly radical about an event that genuinely asks nothing of you — except maybe a barcode. 😄

Every Sunday morning in Cabinteely Park, kids of all abilities cross that finish line. Fast ones, slow ones, first-timers, regulars. All of them welcome. All of them cheered on. 💚

📍 Every Sunday, 9:30am.
