Fancy a double parkrun?

Posted on 16/06/2010 by Simon

This Saturday a FAMILY FUN DAY will be held at Crystal Palace Park.

The day will start with the 5k parkrun / walk commencing at 10am open to all the family. The aim is to promote healthy living and its benefits, whilst showing how sport can be fun for the family.

Then Crystal Palace FC Community Sports Trust will be delivering a fastest shot competition, open access family come and try football sessions and an u14 five-a-side football tournament these activities will commence from 11.30am.

The event is also supported by Active Bromley, NHS Bromley and Bromley Council.

Please make note of the change of time and allow yourself that extra hours sleep in. Those folks attending Bromley or Roundshaw could possibly make it to Crystal Palace in time for the parkrun – securing a double parkrun (only ever achieved on Christmas and New Years Day before).

I look forward to seeing you then and make sure you bring the whole family along and join in the activities.

Ashlee and the Crystal Palace parkrun Team

    Beckenham 10k – Thank You Good Samaritans

    Posted on 09/06/2010 by Simon

    A big thank you goes to the two unnamed samaritans who helped the distressed runner suffering from the the heat, close to the end of the race.  These two kindly looked after him till Red Cross arrived, and even accompanied him to the hospital to make sure he was OK.  We don’t know who you are, but thanks from all of us.
