As we were heading to PEI to participate in the Terry Fox Confederation Bridge walk to help raise money for Cancer, we stopped in Fredericton, New Brunswick and I participated in the Bill Thorpe parkrun. Afterwards, we drove over to Charlottetown PEI to get ready for the 14km Confederation Bridge walk the next day.
parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. parkrun is 5k and takes place every Saturday morning.
parkrun is positive, welcoming and inclusive, there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along.
I have been doing the parkrun for a couple of years now as part of my physiotherapy to rebuild my muscles that were affected by my autoimmune disease.
