I have no parkruns here :( but they are very much what I did like from races: being social, having fun, enjoy being healthy and sharing good moments with people.
I occasionally do a local parkrun. With two little kids, it's difficult to schedule my runs ahead of time, but when they get a little older my dream is to try as many parkruns as I can.
I have a ParkRun in my area, but I've never been. Sounds like it would be a fun time.
I have young kiddos, and I've always wondered what would be good etiquette if I brought them along. Are strollers discouraged? Would it be rude to let a 5 year old run just part of the course (he probably can't complete a 5k)?
I've seen prams at all of my local events with varying degrees of success. You should check out the course description of your local events, it'll say something like:
parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.
I'd encourage you to head along, it's a blast, just be aware and respectful of those around you.
I returned to Parkrun last weekend having not been since 2018. It was my 20th run overall and my 3rd course (from now on it will be my "home" course since I've moved since 2018). It was under 10 degrees and quite windy with some occasional light rain but very enjoyable and helped me remember what I loved about Parkrun and road running in general. I am not big into the social aspect but always enjoy the competition with myself and the other regulars around my pace. This one seems quite popular with 125 runners despite the weather so I am really looking forward to going this weekend (I've actually been thinking about it non-stop since Sunday lol) and improving my time and overall position.
I started doing ParkRuns after I finished the couch25K as a way of keeping me engaged in running. I work away from home so not always possible as there are fewer in Europe but I still manage to get some good ones in.
Itβs not a race and all abilities go and everyoneβs really friendly there are the fast ones and PBβs and thats fun too.
Finally I use it as my routine timed run to see how Iβm doing, Iβm off to do one in a new place today too.
I have a Parkrun almost literally right outside my front door. Literally, it's less than a 1500 m warmup jog away, along the route that is my regular running route. Unfortunately I am not a morning person, and 7am is just too early for me most weekends. Even the 9am that I hear it starts in Europe would be pushing it for me. So I've only done it a handful of times.
