Every Sunday I’m already looking forward to next Saturday. It’s fantastically fun and challenging for me. Those 5km. The feeling when you once more reach the finish line, cheered on and encouraged by my faithful parkrun friends who are still waiting there, even though they have already finished. We boost one another and celebrate my…
Jag längtar till nästa lördag varje söndag. Det är så fantastisk roligt och utmanande för mig. Dessa 5 km. Känslan att ännu en gång nå målet, påhejad och uppmuntrad av mina trogna parkrunners som väntar där trots att de redan är klara. Vi lyfter varandra och gläds över mitt nya Personligt Bästa (PB) med 5…
Welcome to this week’s photo call from all around Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. November has been grey, dull and drizzly, so here are a few cheery parkrun photos from Saturday to brighten the mood! First up in Brabrand, congratulations to Helle Holdam and Mikkel Wallentin who ran their 100th parkruns! …
Welcome to this week’s photocall from the Nordics, this week with 24 events across our four countries after Tøyen parkrun sadly has to cancel on Friday evening due to the snowy conditions.

Last weekend at parkrun in the Nordics there were: 24 events! 985 finishers! 158 fantastic volunteers! 138 brilliant PBs! 87 amazing first-time parkrunners!
Den här veckan firas Skatås parkruns 100:e event. Teamet i Skatås vill ge sina deltagare en lite speciell upplevelse och kommer därför att köra banan i omvänd riktning. Istället för att de kämpiga backarna kommer på slutet när man är lite trött så får man istället börja lite tuffare och sedan få en platt avslutning….
I started running less than two years ago as a way of dealing with SAD and winter depression. Those of you who live in the Nordic Countries can probably relate to that! I found parkrun as part of this process and ran my first ever parkrun in April 2018. It’s been life changing in many…
Nordre Fælled parkrun celebrated its first birthday, we had some Halloween costumers at Örebro parkrun and we had another wonderful parkrun morning on Saturday. Here is the best of the action from across our four countries: It was happy birthday for Nordre Fælled parkrun in Randers, where they celebrated their first year of parkrunning….
