The first time I tested parkrun I came there all by myself. I knew no one and I am not even from Örebro but immediately I felt welcome and as “part of the gang”. Next time I brought my dad and my little sister and they got as good an impression as I did! Everyone…
Första gången jag testade parkrun kom jag dit helt själv. Jag kände ingen och är inte ens från Örebro men jag kände mig direkt välkommen och som “en i gänget”. Nästa gång tog jag med mig min pappa och min lillasyster och de fick ett lika gott intryck som jag! Alla man pratar med är…
We love working together with all our events right across the Nordic region, and this weekend we will all be pulling together to try and break our attendance record (again!) and bring 1500 people to run, jog, walk or volunteer at our events. We hope that you will be able to join us on…
Recently I asked a friend if he was planning on coming to parkrun on Saturday. ‘Well’, came the answer, ‘I would, but I don’t know where my barcode is, and it’s a hassle to print out a new one’. We hope to convince you in a few short paragraphs that he was wrong! Here’s…

Här möter vi Mikael Sandberg, den förste parkrunner i Sverige som har sprungit 100 parkrun på samma event. Han har sprungit alla 100 parkrun på sin hemmabanan i Örebro och också hjälpt till som volontär 10 gånger. Hur hittade du parkrun? Mamma ringde en dag när hon läst tidningen och sett att det…
How well do you know your Danish parkruns? Here’s a little game for you…..can you guess the parkrun from the map of the course? But watch out…..one of these events is not actually Danish, but a famous event from elsewhere….. Free parkruns for all correct answers!
