I am incredibly proud that the movement I started back in October 2004 is now widely viewed as an innovative health intervention, changing lives around the world, and with an impact that reaches far beyond the parks and open spaces we share on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Thanks to the support of our partners, land owners, and thousands of volunteers, our events will always be free and everyone will always be welcome. Yet, importantly, the parkrun experience remains the same as it’s always been.
Thanks for being a part of the family, and, if you are new to parkrun, welcome.
