Phone notifications

A tap on the shoulder when your parkrun is cancelled, so you find out before you leave the house. Free, like everything here.

Notifications are on for this device.

Pick your parkrun

Start typing and pick it from the list. Leave it blank if you'd rather hear about every cancellation in the UK.

You're on a computer, so this turns on notifications for this computer. For your phone, open saturdayoff.co.uk/notifications on your phone instead.

You can add more than one. Just come back and pick another.

When you press the button, your browser asks if SaturdayOff can send notifications. Choose Allow.

On iPhone, one quick step first

Apple only allows notifications from websites that have been added to your Home Screen. It takes ten seconds.

  1. Tap the Share button in Safari.
  2. Choose Add to Home Screen, then Add.
  3. Open SaturdayOff from your Home Screen and come back to this page.

Open this page in your browser first

You're in an app's built-in browser (Facebook, Instagram or similar), and those can't send notifications.

  1. Tap the menu at the top of this screen and choose to open the page in Safari.
  2. In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
  3. Open SaturdayOff from your Home Screen and come back to this page.

This browser can't do notifications

Try Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, or stick with free email alerts. They do exactly the same job.

When do they arrive?

We check the official list late on Friday night and first thing Saturday morning. If your parkrun is on it, your phone buzzes. If it isn't, you hear nothing.

Do I still need email alerts?

Notifications sit alongside email alerts, not instead of them. Email also gets you nearby alternatives and course guides. Plenty of people have both.

What do you store?

Only the parkrun you picked and a code your browser creates for sending notifications. No name, no email address, no location. Turn them off above, or in your phone's settings, whenever you like. More in the privacy policy.

Never turn up to a cancelled parkrun

Tell us your parkrun and we will email you if it is called off. We check late on Friday night and first thing Saturday morning.
