Parkrun

For anyone who enjoys running, whether it is for fun, practise or serious, then the Parkrun 5k’s could be for you and best of all they’re free!

That said they do appreciate people who can volunteer by marshalling or perhaps being a tail runner.

I needed to get my running back on track, forgive the pun; following an injury which kept me out for 12 months and I experienced my first Parkrun at Bristol’s Ashton Court, the Spring Bank holiday. The event was well organised and despite the rain there was a great atmosphere.  It started with the first half being up an incline, partly on road and partly on shale, but it meant the second part was running all downhill! I thoroughly enjoyed it all.

So dare I say it… give it a go, you might even like it!

The runs take place on a Saturday morning at 9am, but for further information go to www.parkrun.org.uk
