So I recently signed up for my local park run x
Got a bar code x
It’s 5 k round my local park x
Over 500 run or walk each week x
It’s officially timed x
And staffed by wonderful volunteers x
It’s a great way to keep fit x
Only problem it’s a 9am start !
Any other park runners here?
Post your P/B |

Loads walk park runs! I volunteered at my local one and a lady on crutches walked it, when she finished she got the loudest cheer! |

Oh, in that case I'll look into doing Shrewsbury Park Run. |

"100 x that’s amazing x apparently you get a T-shirt? X"
'milestone' T-shirts.
Juniors (under 16) white one after 10
Red one after 50 runs
Black one after 100 runs
Green one after 250 runs
Blue one after 500 runs.
Purple one after 25 volunteer duties
If all goes well, I'll get my green 250 this year.
The T-shirts are decent, proper technical fabric for running.
parkrun is 'free, for everyone, forever' and you can't come last. There is a volunteer who is the tail-walker, who tells the volunteer marshalls, that they can finish.
Run, jog, walk, it's not a race (except against your previous times)
My PB is 29:59, but I'm happy to get sub 40 these days.
There's a few parkrunners on the forum.

I've walked parts of Shrewsbury parkrun, it's got a couple of steep hills. But also downhill stretches, and beautiful flat stretches along the river. |

I did my local park run on Saturday- in my head 25 minutes is good?
Kind of 5 mins a k x
I got sub 25 so delighted x
My female friend walked it and got below 50 mins
So it’s definitely an event for everyone x |
