While the calendar was ready to flip to May, in many parts of the country it was still necessary to bundle up on parkrunday. Nonetheless, across the US we set a record for most events held (56), and just over 2,500 of you took part. Let’s take a look at what you got into:
Clermont Waterfront parkrun in central Florida celebrated their 10th anniversary on Saturday. They were the 2nd event to start in the US. Can you name the 1st? Their 11th anniversary is coming up soon.
West Chicago’s favorite free weekly timed 5K, Cornerstone Lakes, held their 3rd event and had a record attendance. We don’t think that’ll be the last time.
Thumbs up if you love your post-parkrun coffee meetups. Looks like a fine morning to enjoy your favorite warm beverage at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve parkrun.
