On Saturday we welcomed parkrun events back across the Australian state of Victoria, in a wonderful celebration of all that we love about parkrun. In 2020 people there experienced a long and incredibly restrictive lockdown, which must have been doubly challenging as other Australian states reopened and returned to normal life. Throughout those incredibly…

Även i Sverige, där vi inte har haft en ’lockdown’ som många andra europeiska länder, kan vi fortfarande inte samlas i stora grupper, vilket naturligtvis inkluderar parkrun.

Last week it was great to celebrate 53,000 people walking, jogging, running and volunteering with us, despite the fact that over 1,500 parkrun events remain closed…
As we bid farewell to 2020, parkrun Founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE reflects on a very different twelve months for parkrun. 2020 started with so much promise. Our movement, now in its 16th year, gathered pace. The Netherlands became the 22nd live territory on the global map of parkrun, we delivered a groundbreaking campaign…
När vi nu tar farväl av 2020 funderar parkruns grundare Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE på tolv väldigt annorlunda månader för parkrun. 2020 började så bra. Nu inne på vårt 16:e år ökade vi farten.
