Happy parkrun day to one and all! Things were a little calmer than last week as 344 of us set off on RTW parkrun number 557, which also happened to be our 13th consecutive parkrun with an attendance of more than 300 – something that's not been achieved here before.

Who wants a nice, normal, ordinary Saturday morning parkrun? Not us! This weekend we don’t think there’s another wedding taking place but we couldn’t make everything simple and so instead we’re holding a pacer day. All are welcome to join us in the park for briefings from 8.50am tomorrow.

A very fine vantage point for the start!

So good to be able to get to #Dunorlan @rtwparkrun.bsky.social to see @twpeople.bsky.social & @briteeyedviolet.bsky.social Wedding Run.

TW People is the main reason I met so many #TunbridgeWells people in 2012 when Twitter was a lovely place to be

👰🤵💍 Congratulations - have a happy day

A joyous, celebratory morning marking the wedding day of our stalwart parkrun volunteers and runners, Erica and Richard! And of course the 22nd birthday of the parkrun movement!

Magnificent turnout of 392 parkrunners and 56 volunteers!

Thank you for the additional offers to be marshal! 😀

Upcoming parkrun will be parkrun's 22nd birthday! 🎉 There's also a very local reason for celebration. Clue: we're expecting a good turnout of wedding themed parkrun garb - come and join the fun!

We're in need of 3 more marshals. Offers of help, please, to [email protected] #parkrun

Oh they are very good! Thanks for the tip.

@rtwparkrun.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 11:58 AM

It’s good to hear people found other places to go!

@rtwparkrun.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 11:37 AM

Oooh. Now I need to go hunting for photos of that!

@rtwparkrun.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 11:36 AM

Once again, we’re sorry about this week’s cancellation due to the events field closure. It took us by surprise too. We hope most of you managed to find somewhere else to visit at 9am? Do let us know.

We fully intend to be back next week, 3rd October, when two of our regulars will be having a special celebration as part of their parkrun. See you then.

@rtwparkrun.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 7:37 PM

Other parkruns are still available, so this could be an opportunity for you to try some tourism and see how the neighbours do things at Tonbridge or further afield (please note Kingdom is also cancelled this week, and we advise checking before you travel anywhere).

CANCELLATION! ❌ Unfortunately, we have to cancel this weekend’s Royal Tunbridge Wells parkrun, on 26th September. We don’t take this decision lightly, and we’re sorry for the disappointment it may cause, but an evening drone show means the events field has been closed much earlier than anticipated.

Apparently this post was too subtle. So here goes: PLEASE VOLUNTEER THIS WEEK. We're short of marshals, set up and close down helpers. Thanks.

@rtwparkrun.bsky.socialSep 22, 2026, 10:57 AM

PS. Please include your name and barcode (it's free to register online).

@rtwparkrun.bsky.socialSep 22, 2026, 10:57 AM

All you need to do is drop us an email letting us know if you can help before, during or after parkrun. Then we'll add you to the roster for set up, marshalling or close down. Simple. Which is good, because we need extra hands in all three of those roles this week.

@rtwparkrun.bsky.socialSep 22, 2026, 10:56 AM

Would you like to volunteer at parkrun but you don't know where to start? Neither did we when we sent our first email to [email protected] !

very well done!
