***RESULTS 29 MARCH 2026***

We had a few issues with the finish tokens today that affected the first 10 to 15 finishers. We've done our best to manually amend the results so that they're right, but if you think there's something wrong please email [email protected] and we'll try to sort it.

🎉💙 Event Milestone Celebration 💙🎉

This coming Sunday will be South Manchester juniors event number 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣! To help celebrate this massive milestone we've got this fantastic looking cake for all our amazing participants and volunteers 😍

We hope to see as many people as possible on Sunday to celebrate with us and enjoy some well-deserved cake! The more the merrier as you'll be saving the core team from living off leftover cake for the next few weeks 😅

See you all Sunday morning 👋🏻

🌧️ Event Update for 01/03/26 🌧️

The recent rain has left parts of our usual course in a sorry state, so subject to a course inspection tomorrow morning, we should be on our alternative 'B' course which starts on the tree-lined path by Holy Trinity Platt Church.

We will have a volunteer at our usual start by the boathouse by the lake to direct participants in the morning, but please otherwise head to our alternative start.

Thanks,

South Manchester junior parkrun team

***B Course***

We're switching over to the B Course again today. If you don't know where the start/finish line is, then we'll have someone at the Boat House to direct you.

Apologies for the short notice but there is ice at the bottom of the puddles so the course is unsafe

❌ CANCELLED - 4TH JANUARY 2026 ❌

Following an early course check today, we've taken the decision to cancel our first event of 2026 as the paths in the park are iced over and conditions are not due to improve by tomorrow morning ❄️

We hope you can enjoy a run/walk/volunteer at a nearby event that is still able to go ahead safely tomorrow or otherwise enjoy a lie in and hopefully we'll be back on next week 🗓️
