This weeks group run/walk/cycle took us to Trinity Church. William had got in touch and said the pews needed polish and the floors needed a once over. So once everyone had met at the bandstand in Wardown Park and the relevant briefings and stretching had been done, the walkers set off leaving the runners to do a more comprehensive warm up. Once at the Church, the team got stuck in with, dusting, polishing, washing and vacuuming and the place was looking sparkling ✨️ in no time. Several changes of water were needed as the floors were a lot dirtier than they appeared. Everyone got stuck in and William was very grateful for our efforts. Awesome job team 👏 🙌 👍🏻 👌

To Luton Wardown parkrun for our monthly takeover, where we aim to fill as many volunteer slots as possible to support the best and friendliest parkruns around.

This morning’s event was a sea of red as local running club Stopsley Striders was marking the completion of its 2025 beginners’ course with a graduation parkrun. We set up, marshalled and scanned barcodes, helping the Luton Wardown team to put on a hugely successful event for more than 370 parkrunners.

A great event in sweltering conditions. Luckily, ice-pops were on sale in the clubhouse afterwards!
