Posts relating to Parkrun a timed run or walk 5k every Saturday and sometimes additional special dates.
Bushy parkrun is the home of parkrun. The very first one in the world which actually started out as a timed trial. We decided that we would make the pilgrimage journey for the 999th event. There were several options of when to go including the 1,000 next week and the 20th Anniversary event in October. … Read more
This week we headed to our NENDY (nearest event not done yet) which was Wolford Wood parkrun. Despite starting 18 months ago they had just reached their milestone 50th event.

Last week we headed to Somerdale Pavilion parkrun – the real Curly Wurly one! You may recall that we had headed to Thames Path, Woolwich parkrun believing that we were heading to one of two Curly Wurly parkruns.

Wakehurst parkrun started on 20th April 2024. At the time it felt like everyone went to the inaugural but I had already completed one at King George V, Cheltenham.
