The best-kept secret about parkrun is that it’s not about running - it’s about bringing people together in public parks and open spaces to have some fun in a friendly, social and supportive environment. You can walk or run the 5k course (pushing a pram or with one dog on a short lead if you want to!), lend a helping hand as a volunteer in a wide range of super-easy roles, or simply spectate and so

cialise on the sidelines. There are no winners at parkrun and nobody comes last. Regular participation is rewarded rather than performance, with free ‘parkrun milestone shirts’ awarded to people to recognise their achievements in coming along. parkrun is whatever you want it to be, whenever you want to take part.

Another fantastic morning at Varsity Lakes parkrun yesterday. The rain cleared up just in time, leaving a beautiful day for the 238 walkers, joggers and runners - including 11 people making their parkrun debut - to complete their laps around the lake.

A massive thank you to our team of 19 amazing volunteers; we truly couldn't do this without you.

We also want to give a special shout-out to a couple of incredible, unofficial milestones achieved yesterday. Varsity Lakes regular Michael Balch volunteered for his 600th time (with over 500 of those right here at our event), and Darrel Nelson completed his 600th parkrun finish. Congratulations to you both, and to everyone else who reached a milestone this weekend.
