Have you ever heard of or experienced a Parkrun event? If your answer is no, I will tell you more about it.
What it is?
Parkrun is a free running event held in parkland on weekend mornings, organised by a group of local volunteers all over the UK as well as other places around the world. Each event is based in an eccentric location like a park, beach or promenade. Everybody is welcome! Doesn't matter if you are old or young, fit or unfit, male or female. At the end of the day it's all about running and socialising not racing.
How long is Parkrun?
Distance for adults is 5 km on every Saturday and for juniors is 2 km on every Sunday. Park runs are never more than 5 km as it's a distance that anyone can complete even if you are walking by the end of it.
How can I sign up for it?
It's free of charge and you need to register before your first run only once. Then you need to bring a printed copy of your barcode. That means that every time you run your time is measured. You can take part whenever or wherever you want.
