Last week's parkrun, with nearly 500 finishers, was a good one thanks to the fine team of happy volunteers who gave up their run to make it happen. 🙂
This week is super festive and being peak holiday season we expect loads of visitors. BUT some of our core team are away and helpers are thin on the ground so, to ensure we can go ahead on Saturday, this is an appeal to our regulars to hear the call and raise a hand. Volunteering is actually fun and rewarding.

If it's your turn, simply email greenpoint@parkrun.com with your barcode A number. You'll be welcomed onto the team and heartily thanked by the participants. 🥰

Hello fine people of the park. 😊 We're keen to see everyone gathering tomorrow but, as usual on a Friday, we're somewhat thin on the ground in the volunteer department. 🤨
If you're willing to give up your run you'll be welcome on the team doing finish tokens or cheering people along as marshals.
Urgent please - email greenpoint@parkrun.com with your barcode A number and you can help deliver another high standard, smooth, safe, enjoyable parkrun.

We're back this week! Well, as long as we can fill the vacant volunteer slots of course - 4 marshals still needed and a finish token supporter / funnel manager.
Please email greenpoint@parkrun.com with your barcode A number if you're available. It will happily relieve the stress and avoid the 'frantic Friday' scramble! 🙂

Many runners know that famous line on a long run: “Only 1 parkrun to go!”
It’s become the battle cry of half marathons, marathons and ultras everywhere… usually followed by a mix of laughter, pain, disbelief and mild irritation.

And honestly… we know you’ve felt all of those emotions these past few weeks with our cancellations. 😅

BUT! Good news at last…

It’s officially only ONE parkrun to go until we’re back on 13 December! 🎉

Our permits for the 13th, 20th and 27th are approved and ready to roll.
So mark your calendar, tell your friends and family, and come join the Green Point festive spirit of parkrun. ❤️💚

See you next week Saturday for an 8am start! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️✨

This is just a friendly reminder that Green Point parkrun is cancelled this coming Saturday, the 22nd and Saturday 29th of November. We are hoping to be back in the first week of December so follow us on our socials for updates

🏃‍♀️ Green Point parkrun Update! 🏃‍♂️

Hey parkrunners — we’ve got some not-so-fun news 😢 The next three Green Point parkruns are cancelled due to other big events happening in the precinct.

We know... we’re just as disappointed as you are! 💔 And yes, we’ve heard all the great ideas about finding an alternate route — but after 11 years, 433 events & 47,000 finishers, we’ve explored every single possibility around the area and our current event is the most viable option.

Trust us, this route really is the best (and safest) option!

Cape Town’s event calendar is buzzing 🏖️ and that means we’ll have to sit tight for a few weeks. Why not take this as a chance to tour another local parkrun? 🌍 There are so many beautiful ones around the Cape!

We’ll keep you posted on socials — the plan is to be back first week of December. 🎉
Until then, keep those legs ticking over and those barcodes handy! 🖤💛

488 finishers today in perfect conditions. Smooth operation thanks to our wonderful team of volunteer superstars!

Despite our polite pleading (and mild emotional blackmail), we still don’t have enough volunteers for tomorrow. If we can’t fill the roles by 2pm today, we may have to cancel — and nobody wants us to be 'that' parkrun.
Still needed:
🟡 5 Marshals (professional clappers & directional pointers)
🎫 2 Finish Token Heroes (must know numbers go in order)
🐢 1 Tail Walker (get a result but need to pick up cones and signage)

Welcome to our weekly panic. We love hosting you. We love seeing you run. But begging for volunteers every week? Not so fun.

Here's the facts: If every person volunteered just twice a year, we’d never have to send emails like this again. No drama. No begging. No imaginary cancellations. Bliss.

So — lace up your volunteer vest this week instead of your running shoes, and help someone else get their PB.

Email greenpoint@parkrun.com with your barcode number and we'll gladly slot you in. Please do it now! You can save the day!

With love, urgency & a hint of chaos, from your Desperate-but-Still-Smiling Green Point parkrun Team. 😊

PS: Listen out for announcements about cancelations coming up due to big events taking place in our precinct!

Greenpoint parkrun is on for tomorrow (start 8 am following 1st timers' briefing at 7:50), but we still have some volunteer positions that it would be good to fill, e.g. token support, Marshal 8, and one more "run & scan". Email your barcode "A" number to greenpoint@parkrun.com
