Join My parkrun Tour This Summer

Some of you may know that I’m a massive fan of parkrun. Whenever I take part I always leave with a huge smile on my face. It’s one of the best things out there that truly celebrates the joy of movement and community.

That’s why I’m super excited to be doing a UK parkrun tour, in partnership with Brooks this summer, visiting 8 parkruns across the country from June to September.

If you’ve never been before, parkrun is a completely free community event that takes place every Saturday morning in thousands of parks all over the world. People come together to walk, jog, or run 5K.

Take it at your own pace. You don’t have to be fast, and you don’t have to run the whole thing. You can even walk or Jeff it (walk and run in intervals), just like I did at the London Marathon earlier this year.

I love what parkrun is all about. It gets people of all ages and abilities moving, brings communities together, and makes fitness feel inclusive and fun. No pressure. No judgement. No expectations. You don’t need fancy kit or loads of experience. You just need to turn up.

Some people go to focus on their own run, others go for a chat, and plenty turn up to cheer everyone on. It’s a real mix – people with buggies or dogs, kids with grandparents – all moving in their own way.

And honestly, that post-parkrun buzz is one of the best feelings and such a good way to start the weekend.

So if you’ve been thinking about moving more, meeting new people, or doing something positive for your mental health, come and join us.

It’s 100% FREE, but please register here before joining one of these events.
