Tidigare denna vecka berättade vi att vi färdigställt vårt COVID-19-ramverk, vilket beskriver hur event hanteras i länder som fortfarande har en viss grad av smitta i samhället.

As we progress our plans around a return to parkrun, we have been working with various organisations and stakeholders around the world. While the restart of parkrun events in New Zealand was relatively straightforward due to the virus being largely eradicated there, it is clear that this is not likely to be the case in the…
