Jubilee Weekend

2nd June - We are pleased to be hosting the first ever bexley parkrun "special event"! To celebrate the Queens Jubilee weekend, we are asking that our runners follow the theme Red, White and Blue in what you wear - if you want to go further, then we'll leave that up to you!! 

Spot prizes may be awarded on the day, and why dont you bring along friends and family either to run or to be there to cheer you along? 

4th June - Special Bank Holiday parkrun! Look out for more details, but come along for the usual 9am start!!



Danson Festival (http://www.dansonfestival.co.uk)

7th July - Due to the annual Danson Festival on the weekend 7th/8th July, the Bexley parkrun is cancelled for this one week.

Why not look at our neighbouring parkruns (Bromley or Greenwich) and join their numbers for the week - a change is as good as (if not better than) a rest!


For the latest news and updates, keep checking back here - and join our facebook page, just search Bexley parkrun from facebook.

See you Saturday!

Another Record Attendance - 157

A great big WELL DONE to Lizzie Wilkinson, our first (now) very own 100 club member.  A great achievment.

And thank you, Bromley parkrun, for lending us so many parkrun tourists today in support of Lizzie and getting us to our new record attendance.  You are more than welcome to come visit us again whenever Normal Park is unavailable.  Maybe you will get a number of Bexley tourists in return on 7th July when the Danson festival is on and we will have to have a rest.
