Welcome to Battersea parkrun! 🌳
Come join the fun!
Back this Saturday - run, jog, walk or volunteer with us!
30 Aug 2026
Woop woop that’s the sound of the (funnel) police 🚨. Welcome back to part two of behind the scenes at Battersea parkrun.
This time we’re diving feet first into the funnel! At Battersea we operate a triple (and sometimes quadruple) funnel to prevent any queues building to get over the finish line. More on how this magic works in practice later in the week 🤯
This sometimes means you might have to wait in a funnel for a couple of minutes before you get your token. But don’t fret, say g’day to your funnel neighbour, take a selfie (and tag us in) or just dish out some kudos. 🫡
And finally, if you get given a letter to hold up. Wow. Well you’re in the big league now. A real BNAP (big name at parkrun). Switch on, you’ve got to be on your A game now. Hold that number up high so our funnel managers can see. 🦺

Ever wondered what magic goes on behind the scenes to produce your parkrun result each Saturday?
Well wonder no more and come with us behind the curtain into the world of parkrun wizardry! It’s not quite Potter but it’s pretty close.
Massive kudos to our pals at @universityparksparkrun who produced these and have let us share with you all!
And remember the golden rule, parkrun is run, jog, walk or volunteer - not a race ✨
