Do Suffolk Parkruns go ahead in the rain?
Most Suffolk parkruns continue in the rain, as long as conditions remain safe. Organisers may cancel if there is flooding, ice, strong winds, or other hazards, but generally, you can expect events to go ahead even in wet weather. Always check the official parkrun website or each event’s social media page for the latest updates before you travel.
