Connecting with community whilst getting healthy

9 Comments

Just over a year ago my husband and I started participating in Parkrun. It’s a free weekly event, run by volunteers all around the world. Each week people come and run/walk 5 kms on a free timed event. Recently a new course that is close to home has opened and out of the six weeks of it running I have volunteered 5 times. People of all different backgrounds and levels of fitness come together to start their Saturday morning with fitness. Am hoping that I can one day go to a variety of Parkruns around the world.

Sounds like fun. I’m hoping I see one start up close to where I am. I would love to have a go

It sounds like a great idea to be involved with the community and also get fit and healthy at the same time!
