It certainly was! 🦛💧

A good soaking was had by one and all at this morning's @rtwparkrun.bsky.social #parkrun

Pssst! It’s parkrun day. See you soon?

RD Ross is counting the minutes* to welcoming us all to parkrun in the morning. Will you be joining this crowd? All are welcome, we head down the hill at 9am prompt so don’t be late! *you think we’re joking, we’re not.

Yesterday may seem a very long time ago, so here's a nice reminder of all the parkrun fun we had. Take a look at our Facebook page to see two albums of pictures from volunteer photographer Richard Craig-McFeely: www.facebook.com/royaltunbrid...

Only two people have done more parkruns at @rtwparkrun.bsky.social than Kitt so great to see him hit the milestone. 🥳

That was a lovely parkrun. Thanks to the Harriers for their efforts. I got my fastest time this year, for my 250th at RTW and my 245th volunteer credit.

We did it! Well done to Kitt Baguley for being our 100,000th finisher, and well done and welcome to first-timer Gareth Baker, who became the 15,000th individual to complete our course...

*excited whisper* It’s parkrun day and we’re counting down to two very special participant milestones that will almost certainly happen today. See you soon!

Who’s excited for parkrun tomorrow? Local running club TW Harriers will be taking on most of the volunteering roles this weekend, including providing pacers for anyone chasing a particular finish time. As usual, all are welcome to run, walk or jog the course. Briefings start at 8.50am.

You may recognise a few parkrun regulars in this photo, and at the weekend they’ll be easier to identify because our next event is a Harriers takeover day. Come along and find out more about the local running club while enjoying your weekly parkrun.

Now we've posted all the photos from yesterday's 500th parkrun, here's this week's parkrun report, thanks to RTW regular Richard: www.parkrun.org.uk/royaltunbrid...

Have you recovered from the fun of RTW parkrun #500 yet? Today to gently remind us, we're sharing three albums of photos on Facebook: www.facebook.com/royaltunbrid... The first album is already online. The next two will be posted at 1pm and 4pm. Enjoy!

This was a lovely morning #parkrun #loveparkrun

We did it! We completed our 500th Royal Tunbridge Wells parkrun and hope you all loved it as much as we did. We had a sea of blue for the milestone, a selection of park life-themed fancy dress, and record-breaking attendance of 486 participants and 71 volunteers. Thank you and well done all...

Wasn't it a lovely day? Thank you all for coming along and joining in our 500th event.

Anything that involves being at Royal Tunbridge Wells parkrun is a very good high point!

RD Mark and volunteer Ross are already in the park, starting to set up today’s 500th RTW parkrun.

We told you the sun would be shining! See you in just over an hour. 💯💯💯💯💯

This time tomorrow the sun will be shining and we’ll be in the park for our 500th RTW parkrun. There’ll be pacers, fancy dress, treats, and a special 500 cake to mark the occasion…

Free cake, a downhill section, two lap course, lots of fun, bring your friends and your barcode. Great cafe. Our 500th run this weekend, Sat 30th Aug and also a Pacer Day. @parkrunuk.bsky.social Not mentioned: uphill section

Wow - our 5th highest turnout (365) of parkrunners today! Also a very strong showing of 41 volunteers who made everything possible. So, we're limbering up nicely for our 500th event next week. We hope that another big crowd will be there to help us celebrate. #parkrun #TunbridgeWells

A big thank you to all those who responded - the volunteer roster is looking good now! See you at parkrun this morning!

It's parkrun eve! Thank you to those who volunteered in response to our previous request. Unfortunately, several others have had to withdraw, so we're still in need of additional volunteer help with a couple of roles - marshals and close down after parkrun. Do please get in touch if you can help.

Coming at end of August - our 500th parkrun in Dunorlan Park! Features include: * some celebratory refreshments * pacer day * fancy dress - on the theme of "park life" - or just wear blue to match the colour of a 500 parkruns top. #parkrun #loveparkrun #TunbridgeWells

Your opportunity to contribute to parkrun this Saturday! We're in need of several more marshals, and several to help with closedown at the end of parkrun. If you may be able to help, please get in touch with us at [email protected]

And we're off! Today's 300 parkrunners enjoyed cooler conditions than we've had recently. Big thanks to our 36 volunteers.

The countdown is on for our big 500th... Who's coming to our event no 498 tomorrow? Quick quiz! Is parkrun: * a race? ❌ * a competition? ❌ * a feel-good community event for healthy exercise and volunteering out in the fresh air? ✅ We hope lots of you will be able to join us tomorrow.

Volunteering is great, which means volunteers are great. Which means all you need to do to achieve greatness is to email us at [email protected] offering to volunteer! This week we need help with set up and marshalling. Please get in touch and help us all to achieve greatness.

Did you spot our two volunteer photographers who were out on the course this week? Take a look at our facebook page for three albums of photos from yesterday’s parkrun: www.facebook.com/royaltunbrid...

The bell was ringing this morning as we welcomed 284 parkrunners and 45 volunteers to parkrun and introduced the PB bell! 🔔 In total there were 37 personal bests this week, plus a wealth of other successes such as age gradings and returns. Well done!

Ideal conditions for @rtwparkrun.bsky.social this morning. Ground firm but not rock hard.

Good morning from RD Mark the set up crew! See the rest of you in the park in approx 35 minutes?

One of these people could be you. This was the start funnel for last weekend’s parkrun, and we’re looking to do it all again tomorrow. Join us in Dunorlan Park from 8.50am for a friendly 5k. Run, walk, jog, however you want to take part you’re welcome!

Would you like to join a smiley group of people like this? If the answer is yes, then you’re in luck because we’re in need of a few more volunteers for this Saturday. This week we are short of 2 on set up 1 or 2 scanners after your parkrun At least 3 extra marshals 2 close down

We’re here, and we’ve loads of space to welcome everyone. See you in The Royal Oak.

Thank you all 310 of you for paying attention to what was a long list of milestones and announcements. We were supported by 45 volunteers, many of which responded to our midweek plea for help, so thank you. Before the results, we have some announcements:

We’re here! The set up crew is on its way out into the park and we are looking forward to another 5k. See you all soon!
