During the early days of COVID, my job working for our municipal government changed from work in recreation and culture to supporting social service agencies responding to COVID. With all facilities shut down in recreation and culture, I had the time to throw all of my energy into doing what I could to make sure…
We were delighted to welcome parkrun back across most parts of New Zealand at the weekend, which together with events in Australia’s Northern Territory and one in the Falkland Islands, saw more than 2,700 people walking, jogging, running and volunteering across 27 locations. The first time round, it took us five-and-a-half years to go from…
Le parkrun River Valley d’Edmonton a débuté à l’été 2019. Venant d’Ottawa, j’avais récemment déménagé à Edmonton et j’étais particulièrement choyé que parkrun puisse m’accueillir à ma nouvelle ville, me faire découvrir les conditions météo ainsi que m’introduire à de nouveaux amis à chaque semaine. Au moment où je suis arrivé, l’été battait son plein…
Samedi, nous avons accueilli le retour du parkrun du phare du Cap Pembroke, dans les îles Malouines, et des trois événements dans le Territoire du Nord de l’Australie, ce qui représente un autre moment positif dans le retour progressif des événements de parkrun dans le monde. C’était formidable de voir le podcast non officiel du…

Il ne reste plus que quelques jours avant la réouverture ce samedi du parkrun de Cape Pembroke Lighthouse aux îles Malouines, ainsi que la reprise des trois événements dans le Territoire du Nord d’Australie. C’est une période incroyablement réjouissante pour nous tous et je suis sûr que je peux parler au nom de toute la…
Edmonton’s River Valley parkrun began in summer of 2019. I’d recently moved to Edmonton from Ottawa and was excited to have parkrun to introduce me to the weather, and new friends, of my new home week after week. By the time I arrived summer was in full swing and it was warm, sunny, bright, with…
There are just a few days to go before this Saturday’s reopening of Cape Pembroke Lighthouse parkrun on the Falkland Islands, as well as all three events in Australia’s Northern Territory. It’s an incredibly exciting time for all of us and I’m sure I can speak on behalf of the entire parkrun family when I…
Nous avons le plaisir de confirmer que, comme annoncé par les chaînes locales vendredi dernier, parkrun est sur le point de revenir dans les Îles Malouines (Cape Pembroke Lighthouse parkrun) et dans le Territoire du Nord de l’Australie le 19 septembre. Comme nous l’avons confirmé dans la mise à jour de la semaine dernière,…
