Many parkrunners are spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing which parkrun to visit each week. But for some, their home event is hundreds of miles from the next closest parkrun. We take a look at five of the most remote parkruns around the globe… 1. parkrun Novosibirsk (parkrun Новосибирск набережная), Siberia, Russia …
We pick up the tour again on Monday 28th May, day 5 of the trip…… You can read part one here if you missed. After a late night walk round the beautiful harbour area of Helsinki while it was still light at 11pm, it was up early for a breakfast meeting with Karlina…
This week we had the pleasure to welcome back Yoie Bohlin to parkrun, where she was the first overall finisher at Haga parkrun, running a speedy 17:36, just a few seconds short of her record time set back on the 10th June 2017. Yoie out on the course during her record run in June…
Last week we wrote about our target of reaching 1000 participants in the Nordics, and we did it – just! We’re so happy to see parkrun growing in the Nordic region and this was a great step forward for us. A big thank you to everyone who contributed in making this happen and a special…
Thursday 24 May – Day 1 The parkrun HQ tour of the Nordics needed to be a tightly-run ship, as there was a lot of ground to be covered. Straight off the plane we headed north to Uppsala parkrun, where we were greeted by three members of the core team, Mattias, Eleanor and Regina….
It’s now over 9 years since parkrun started up in the Nordics, with the first event in Copenhagen’s Amager Faelled parkrun in early May 2009. There were 20 runners that day, supported by 7 volunteers, including Henrik Poulsen, who remains the Event Director to the current day, 480 events later! But it is only…
I’m not a fast runner (Editors note: everything is relative Claire!) in fact since discovering parkrun back in 2012 I have managed to run the 5km distance in less than 30 minutes just once, and that course was nice and flat! Haga parkrun is definitely not flat so when I was challenged by Deri Thomas…
Mitt namn är Marcelo och några av Er har säkert sett mig spring parkrun i Hagaparken vid något tillfälle. Tänkte lite kort berätta min historia hur det kommer sig att jag började köra parkrun. I slutet på 2016 tog jag efter mycket om och men beslutat att göra en gastric bypass operation. Jag har…
On this day in 2013 – the 12th of May – Sean Doyle woke up from an induced coma to be told he’d had a heart attack/cardiac arrest at Huddersfield parkrun. His odds of survival had been 6%. Since that fateful day five years ago Sean has run 7,000 miles, including 150 parkruns, and…
Jag har alltid varit periodare när det gäller löpning (läs, hatade löpning förut men var lite tvungen…). Har under senaste 1½ året sprungit regelbundet, mycket tack vare parkrun. Jag kan ses på lördagarsmornar rusandes iväg med en minst sagt övertänd röd irländsk setter som heter Maggan. I skrivande stund har jag sprungit hela 27 st…
