Isabel Trail parkrun

Here's our stats from event #294 displayed in the usual fashion, and made possible by the wonderful volunteers!
Thank you to everyone who attended today, even a light shower throughout didn't dampen your spirits.

Hello everyone.
Just a quick one to let you know we're good to go this morning.
Course is checked and complete with a sprinkling of the rainy stuff

⚠️ Please read all of the below, especially if you are driving (see car parking situation!) to Isabel Trail parkrun tomorrow.⚠️

The roster is full, so we are good to go tomorrow, course check pending as always! Bear in mind that there's potential for lightning ⚡️ to be in the vicinity, based on the weather forecast, and that could cause a very last-minute cancellation if it shows up, but we won't know any more on that until tomorrow, and this applies to all parkruns where thunderstorms show up, not just ours.

🏃‍♀️As always, the course check will be completed by 8:00am, the First Timers Welcome will take place at 8:50am by the pop-up sign, the RD brief will start around 8:57am, and we'll aim to get underway at 9:00am sharp!🏃‍♂️

🚘The usual plea regarding parking: The Rugby Club car park has recently been filling up very quickly as our attendances have increased. We ask that if you expect to arrive after 8:30am, please go straight to Sainsbury's (ST16 2TF) and park there. It will save you getting caught in a slow queue down to a full car park at the Rugby Club, where you will have to turn around and queue to get out again, only to end up parking at Sainsbury's anyway, but potentially with a last-minute dash to get to the start.🚘

ℹ️Additionally, this weekend we have reduced parking at the Rugby Club due to an event there, so even more emphasis on going straight to Sainsbury's please! We will shut the Rugby Club car park to parkrunners at 8:30am tomorrow.ℹ️

🚨Please DO NOT park on the street in any residential areas; we wish to maintain good relationships with our neighbours!🚨

We do co-ordinate with the car park marshals to try and divert people to Sainsbury's once the Rugby Club car park is full, but the road layout around the entrance (it is NOT a through-road!) makes this very tricky as people try and pile in from the main road, so every single car that goes straight to Sainsbury's of their own accord helps us to alleviate this.

Whilst there is a small charge to park at Sainsbury's, you can claim up to 2 hours of it back by doing a small shop in store, so it works out the same, and the walk to the start is about the same as if you park at the Rugby Club.

🚽There are toilets in both Sainsbury's and the Rugby Club, obviously Sainsbury's are for their customers, but if you are heading in to buy something to claim back your parking, then that's fine. 🚽

☕️Afterwards, we will be in the Rugby Club for refreshments, so please join us there! They will serve hot and cold drinks, as well as breakfast snacks!☕️

See you tomorrow!

Edit - roster full! We'll post some more pre-run info tonight!

Well, we're getting there! Still no full roster, but it looks a lot healthier than last time we asked... So let's ask again!

For us to have a parkrun on Saturday, we still need:

If you can fill any of those gaps, please let us know! You can email us ([email protected]), DM us, or simply comment below! Don't forget to let us know your parkrun ID number so we can add you to the roster!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Please could you give us 5 minutes of your time to digest the following.

For many, the idea of using a defibrillator can feel daunting, but modern AEDs are designed so that anyone can use them — they talk you through every step, and you cannot get it wrong.
​Please take a few minutes to watch this short video on how straightforward they are to operate.
Simply knowing what to do with one, can make the biggest of differences.

We'd like to thank a local charity, Heart of Weston for their continued support since the start of our 1st event in 2018 and for the donation of some much needed replacement pads for our very own AED.
They offer free heart screening for anyone aged 14 to 35, simply go to their website for more details.

Thank you.

Morning all - it's time for a volunteer appeal!

In order for us to hold a parkrun this coming Saturday, we still need:

1 x First-Timers Welcome
2 x Marshal
1 x Finish Tokens
1 x Funnel Manager

Please let us know if you can help out! We can be emailed ([email protected]), DMed, or you can comment below!

Remember to let us know your parkrun ID number and choice of role from the list above.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Stats report from our 293rd event!

Huge thanks to all of the volunteers, and a special mention to Stafford Hockey Club for taking over the roster this weekend - we hope to have you back again soon for another takeover!

If you want to know a bit more about the Hockey Club, they sent us a bit of information:

"Playing since 1867, Stafford Hockey Club are a family friendly club with mens, ladies and junior teams for social and performance hockey.

With a brand new pitch at King Edward VI High School and a modern clubhouse in the town hosting events all year, there has never been a better time to join.

Try a new sport, get back to hockey, or start playing in your home town! Stafford Hockey Club are welcoming new members of any age and all abilities."

Our next takeover is on September 19th, when local running club Stafford Harriers are taking over the roster!

Back to the here and now, we are looking forward to next week's parkrun, and we have a roster to fill, as ever! Please let us know if you can help out.

Good morning Isabel Trail parkrunners!

We have a volunteer takeover by Stafford Hockey Club!

The course has been checked and we are good to go at 9am!

⚠️ Please read all of the below, especially if you are driving (see car parking situation!) to Isabel Trail parkrun tomorrow ⚠️

The roster is full, despite the last-minute scare that the roster still wasn't full at 6pm today, so we are good to go tomorrow, course check pending, as always!

Huge thanks to Stafford Hockey Club for taking over the roster, and all of the volunteers who came forward to help!
