International Women’s Day Saturday 7th March 2020 at Killerton parkrun #IWD

Posted on by

On Saturday 7th March, parkrun is celebrating International Women’s Day. We at Killerton will be joining in the celebrations and want to take the opportunity to encourage as many women and girls to take part as possible. Perhaps you could:

Bring along a female friend, family member or a work colleague, especially one who has never been to parkrun before

Come dressed in purple (parkrun’s chosen colour for the day)

Fill a position on the volunteer roster to try and have as many women and girls on the roster as possible – please contact our volunteer coordinator killerton@parkrun.com if you are able to help

Have your photo taken on the day using the special #IWDparkrun selfie frames to celebrate female participation

We look forward to seeing you all to celebrate with us.

New Year’s Day Killerton parkrun 2019

Posted on by

We are delighted to be able to confirm that we will once again be holding a parkrun on New Year's Day. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the  Killerton National Trust team for allowing this to go ahead on such a busy day for them.

We had mooted a later time originally to allow for the 'Double' with Exmouth parkrun. With our confirmed start time of 0930hrs this will not be possible to achieve.

We will need the usual contingent of High-vis Heroes to make the event possible so please sign-up for your preferred job as soon as possible.

Joe, ED

 

Christmas @ Killerton Parkrun

Posted on by

We will not be running on Christmas Day itself and I know there are a few weeks yet to go, but we plan THREE special runs leading up to CHRISTMAS this year:

10th December, to get us in the mood, it will be a Santa Hat / Bobble Hat run (now EVERYONE must have one or the other)

17th and 24th December we have Christmas Fancy Dress runs - we decided two as so many will not be there on both Saturdays.

So start planning now and happy running.

Event Director

Taster for new volunteers – Sat 18 May, 10am-1pm

Posted on by

Did you know..

  • The sheer existence of Killerton parkrun relies on volunteers.
  • Over all the parkrun events in 2012 alone, over 20,000 people stepped forward to support their local event.
  • Each Killerton parkrun event takes 12 volunteers to safety brief, help marshal, tail-run, time, hand out tokens and scan bar-codes on the day. Then behind the scenes there's photography, writing the run report for the website and organising the volunteer roster.
  • Helping us out takes just an hour and a half on a Saturday morning and we have a job for all ages to get involved!

If you've always fancied playing your part one week but weren't sure how you could help, then come along to this Taster and hear about each type of role, meet some of the people who already volunteer, see demos and ask questions.

It will be held straight after parkrun inside Killerton House until around lunchtime, very informal with free drinks and snacks.

We would love to see you!
Please RSVP to: killertonhelpers@parkrun.com

 

Killerton Anniversary

Posted on by

To celebrate the volunteers are arranging for a birthday cake to be made and putting on a bit of a party atmoshphere.

All parkrunners are welcome to join us in the celebrations after the run, which will be held in the stableblock courtyard.

If you would like to make some cakes or biscuits of your own to bring along and share with everyone that would be gratefully appreciated I am sure.

Also, we agreed that a patriotic theme for running kit would be in keeping with the bunting and celebratory atmosphere; if you choose to join us and wear something red, white or blue (or all of the colours) for your run it will make for some colourful photos that week.
