One of the best things to happen in the UK during my lifetime is the creation of parkrun UK. Had another lovely chat with its founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt while he was volunteering at Cranleigh parkrun yesterday and it was great to see the juniors out in force at Knowle Park this morning.

Five years since this incredible moment with Paul Sinton-Hewitt and noel thatcher ❤️ Happy birthday parkrun Japan 🇯🇵

Brings back great memories

Here's this week's parkrun top 10, but to get to the rankings you have to read (or scroll past) editor Robbie Britton's thoughts on the removal of parkruns records.

I will always support the right for everyone to participate over the right of a few to compete.

Discovered a wonderful book which is the story of adventure and human endeavour. Yes, it involves running BUT it’s much more than that. Beautifully written. Includes a great description of parkrun 🌳 too. mattwhyman.com/books

A fab history of the first 10 or so parkrun’s.

The highlight of my ⁦Poole parkrun⁩ was seeing Becky again and sharing her first walk back at ⁦parkrun 🌳⁩ ⁦parkrun 🌳UK⁩

So this is what I did yesterday. Such an amazing day filled with positive stories, achievements and hope for the future. What an incredible team ⁦stormbreak⁩ is. ❤️ instagram.com/p/C2FTUOaNoQ7/…

PSH and Joanne Sinton-Hewitt
We're walking the entire UK coast, 6000 miles in 12 months, raising funds for parkrun UK

We're 7 months in and fundraising has proved very hard, any suggestions how we can boost the amount raised?

Over 140,000 people around the world chose to start their Christmas Day at parkrun this morning - volunteering, running, walking, chatting, watching, exchanging hundreds of thousands of 'MERRY CHRISTMAS's.
Thank you, Paul and Season's Greetings everyone 😊

A lovely (important) Christmas message from parkrun founder PSH

Have a great day.
