Organisers of the popular Guernsey Parkrun have announced the cancellation of the Christmas Day event, citing severe weather warnings issued by the local authorities. In anticipation of hazardous conditions including strong winds and heavy rainfall, safety has been prioritised to protect participants and volunteers alike. This marks a rare disruption to the festive tradition that regularly attracts hundreds of runners and their families every year.

Officials recommend that all participants stay updated through the official Parkrun channels for future announcements. Those planning to celebrate the day outdoors are advised to:

  • Exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel during peak weather alerts
  • Consider alternative indoor activities with family and friends to stay safe
  • Check for updated local meteorological information regularly
