Here is a brief run down of all you need to know about how to get started with Parkrun. At the end I’ve put a few useful links so just head straight there if you are short of time.
Introduction
So what is Parkrun and who is it for? Well it’s a completely free 5K run community, which organises a weekly event in open spaces throughout the world. So if you happen to find yourself in Singapore one weekend there will be a Park Run there. Italy – no problem! There will be one there too.
It started in Bushey, UK with just 13 parkrunners and has now grown to over 2,300 events with 9 million registered parkrunners. But the principles haven’t changed – it’s fun, inclusive and completely free.
So what do you need to know?
