Another fantastic thing about parkrun is that we try and make sure we have someone taking photos of the event every week. Everyone wants to see themselves in a picture and have a great memory of their parkrun! Normally in a running race this would cost you a few hundred kronor, but luckily, like…
November has arrived, and with it a rather abrupt change in the weather! But if you’re lacking motivation to get yourself out for a run, then look no further than parkrun – we will be there every Saturday for you, so make it a date in your diary! Unlike regular running races, with parkrun…
One of the fun things about parkrun arriving in Sweden is meeting all the parkrun tourists who come out to visit us at Haga parkrun. It is amazing how every week there are at least a couple of people who have made the trip out and are combining their weekly parkrun outing with a…
So parkrun is up and running in Hagaparken, but why there? Well, as well as being a fantastic location for a parkrun it was also a park I knew well myself, having worked nearby and run around hundreds of times, planning parkrun routes in my head! And whilst it’s great to have the first…
Part of the enjoyment of parkrun is hanging out afterwards, having a fika with friends and chatting through today’s parkrun with people that you’ve maybe met out on the course. And this is no exception at Haga parkrun. For those who have made it to Centre café, at ground level in the Wennergren Centre,…
Every parkrun is a guest of the specific landowner for the course, and we’re very honoured to be welcome in Hagaparken, and able to run in the beautiful surroundings that it provides every week. If the only chance that you’ve had to look around the park is when you’re pushing yourself on Saturday morning,…
This weekend sees the test running of the second parkrun to come to Sweden, in Örebro. The parkrun is located in a beautiful nature reserve by the waters of lake Hjälmaren. It’s a one-lap course, with the first and last kilometre following the same path. Fast and flat, all on gravel tracks, it’s a great…
You may have noticed your parkrun ID number and wondered what that long number was on the end? If you’ve registered in Sweden since parkrun arrived then it’ll probably be a 7 digit number starting with 2,7xx,xxx or 2,8xx,xxx. Well, it refers to the number of registered parkrunners out there, and the numbers are assigned…
Höstens första kalla dag, så typiskt tänker jag och rotar i skåp och lådor efter vantar och överdragskläder. Lätt bortskämd efter en varm och solig höst, där problemet oftare har varit att det varit för varmt att springa mitt på dagen. Efter två genomförda parkrunlopp känner jag att fem kilometer är perfekt, så dagens Mental…
So, if you’re reading this newsletter it means that you’ve registered for parkrun with a link to print out your barcode. So far in Sweden we’re doing pretty well with people turning up with their barcodes – over 80% of people have had them with them so far. And if you’ve lost your link…
