Hear yeee - 70 weeks as the UK’s largest not parkrun. Fantastic commitment from so many Riverside parkrunners and walkers. 37 managed to log at least 1 , 5k last week. If you want to become part of the team use your barcode to log your 5k effort at, parkrun.com/signin

Congratulations to our 31 volunteers who made our parkrun possible and 516 participants who mastered our beautiful course today. Enjoy your weekend and we look forward to welcoming you back next week.

Exciting news. As a Riverside parkrun participant and volunteer we have been missing one important element of the parkrun experience. The wait is over. CLS Amateur Rowing Club has opened a cafe and have invited us all to go over on Saturdays after parkrun for a cuppa/catch up

You’ve done it again, amazing commitment ,42 of us completing a least 1,5k effort between parkrun day (formerly known as Saturday) and logging it at; parkrun.com/signin Remember Date for the diary 11th May - Rowing Club - cuppa / chat photo of the team contributing to this

An early heads up for parking this week. This Saturday 27th April is when the rowing club host a few other clubs. Therefore the rowing club car parks on the left will be closed off for boat and trailer access. There are plenty of parking spots on the other side of the road.

Saturdays are the highlight of the week. It’s a time to meet up with friends, get some exercise in and enjoy Riverside Park with like-minded people. We may be biased but I think what makes Riverside parkrun so special are the incredible volunteers!

97 weeks on the trot. See what we did there😂😂. The UK’s largest not parkrun is Riverside parkrun. 36 not parkrunners managing to register at least 1 of their 5k efforts last week. Why not exercise between Saturday Parkruns and register it parkrun.com/signin All welcome

Good luck to our visitors at Riverside parkrun taking in the GNR next weekend carrying this, @GNRTyneBridge on instagram

Durham Foodbank sends huge thanks to all those able to donate at last Saturdays Riverside parkrun. There are lots of places to make donations and many of them easier than our park so thank you for your generosity. Donations for 2024, 278kg =350 Meals. Shame it’s needed but it is

Largest UK and indeed worldwide not parkrun by participants for the 100th consecutive week. 👏. Thanks all. Keeping the community moving👍👍 P.S. still welcoming first timers at parkrun.com/signin using your barcode. Time for a celebratory walk or run? 😂😂

For some unknown reason several uk parkrun’s, many of them local have recently had their Facebook pages suspended. If this happens please go to the news page on our parkrun webpage. parkrun.org.uk/riverside/news/ Or look here
