Hi all,

Any takers for this event?
I know one of our regulars (Jo) is setting up a few teams, so it would be great to join her. If you are free and fancy it, please enter (mention team 5kYW). Once we have all participants I'll sort us out into teams.
Further details below:

Over the last 2 years 5kYW participated in The Wild One - a multilap marathon held by our local friendly running club Black Pear Joggers. We are getting teams together for this year. If you do it as a team of 5, each member runs two laps of 2.62 mile.
Please express your interest below & we'll get teams together.

Worcester Pitchcroft parkrun is on folks. No toilets👇

We are ON!!!

There will be NO toilet facilities.

This is due to water having been turned off at the Pavilion after last week's damage.

Public toilets available at the Hive, bus station and next to Café Viaduct.

///alien.flies.grows - what3words for Café Viaduct, which is nearest to and within 200 metres of Pitchcroft car park. This will be opened early from 7am. Usual charges have been waived from that time, up to 3pm.

There is access to toilets at the Riverside (///horn.living.jolly) and at the Arena (///flies.wings.pigs) buildings just across the river.

We are less well-served at the Kepax Bridge end of Pitchcroft. There are toilets in Gheluvelt Park are above the tennis courts and part of the Sons of Rest building, less than 5 minutes away from the Pump House car park. On foot they are through the park gate on Lavender Road.

☀️🥵 Sunny and scorching at 5kYW this morning!
We had 8 humans and a pooch join us, and everyone tackled it their own way – which is exactly what it's all about. 👏🐾
A special shout-out to Becky, one of our ambassadors, who wasn't with us today because she's just completed the NC500 cycle challenge. What an incredible achievement – well done, Becky! 🚴‍♀️🎉
Meanwhile, one of our regular members, Jo, is busy smashing out hikes in Yorkshire and has conquered Pen-y-Ghent. ⛰️💪 Another regular, Ellie, is enjoying a bird-ringing demonstration today. 🐦
We missed all of you who couldn't make it this month and hope you're having amazing adventures of your own. We look forward to seeing everyone again on 27th June! 😊

What a celebration today! 🎉 4 years of 5kYW in Worcester and what a wonderful morning it’s been. Glorious sunshine, 2 PBs (well done Ellie Martin and Nick Rfb ) , an amazing turnout of around 19 of us, plenty of cake, chats, laughter, friendships, and that special bond that makes this group so special.
This really is one of the best things to have happened to our little community. So much joy, support, and connection all in one place.
Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a lovely celebration. Thank you Worcester Pitchcroft parkrun for all the mentions, cheer and hosting us for the last 4 years!!
