What's Parkrun All About?

By Victoria Velton

The temperatures may be climbing, but that won't stop folks from getting out and moving about. Amazing work by Julian from Palm Creek for his new PB, I don't know how he has all that energy to run full tilt the entire 5ks, but kudos to him!

Now, a big misconception is that Parkrun is all about running full speed like Julian does - yes, I know it's in the name - but many of us enjoy a jog or a walk too. For many, Parkrun is about getting up and getting healthy, finding joy in exercising together as a community, and feeling proud together as we cheer each other on.

Or, if you're not into any of that, simply put on your headphones and enjoy the scenery; we don't judge out here on the track. It's all about enjoying Parkrun your way and we would love to see more out there!
