What is the parkwalk campaign in a nutshell? This is a global campaign to celebrate and promote walking at parkrun, to coincide with parkrun’s 18th anniversary (the first event took place in Bushy Park, London in October 2004). It’s called parkrun, not parkwalk! Why are you focusing on walkers? The name ‘parkrun’…
This October marks 18 years since parkrun’s founder, Paul Sinton-Hewitt, shouted “Go!” at the very first parkrun event. We’d like to make this 18th anniversary one to remember by dedicating the whole month of October to something extra special… parkwalk at parkrun! Paul’s vision was that parkrun would be open to everyone, no…

We heard about parkrun while living in England, and towards the end of our time living there, Saturday morning parkrun was an important part of our weekend routine. Back then we already discussed the possibility of setting up a new parkrun if there wasn’t one near our new home in Finland. A year after…
Tutustuimme parkruneihin Englannissa asuessamme, ja etenkin Englannin vuosiemme loppupuolella parkrunista tuli meille lauantaiaamujen rutiinia. Tuolloin jo hieman elättelimme toiveita pääsevämme myös Suomessa juoksemaan lauantaisin. Ensimmäinen paluumuuton jälkeinen vuosi meni vielä covid-sulun merkeissä, mutta elokuussa 2021 elämän jälleen normalisoituessa aloimme käydä Vääksyssä juoksemassa – ja olimme entistä pahemmin koukussa. Vaikka Vääksyn reitti onkin upea ja…
Last Saturday, parkrun Founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt completed his 500th parkrun and joined the 500 milestone club. That’s 10 years worth of continual weekly parkruns, 2,500 kilometres covered, and countless coffees with old and new friends. Quite the achievement. Whereas many may choose to celebrate such a milestone at the familiarity of their home event,…
