As part of my recovery from my Autoimmune Disease, I was encouraged to walk a bit everyday. My pen pal in Glasgow mentioned the parkrun, a worldwide weekly 5k walk with no set finish time. I started just over 2 years ago and I wasn’t very fast but I completed my very first 5k walk after my fall due to my health issues.
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 really suggest you check it out
A friend of mine did his very first parkrun, so I brought my big camera with me and took a few photos to mark the occasion.
