Absolutely outstanding inclusive organisation and it's free! A weekly free 5KM run at 9am on a Saturday that brings the community together takes dedication from volunteers.Parkrun also encourage parkwalkers now - which makes it even more inclusive than ever.Thank you Parkrun for making such a difference
Trustpilot
Brilliant free 5k run every Saturday 9am. Great that people volunteer every weekend. Only downside not the friendliness for new runners and a bit clickey
Trustpilot
Absolute morons running parkrun , non for.profit but still racking in salarys of 80k per year . They have ruined the results pages and segregated peole in the so called making everyone inclusive . Russ Jefferys need to be removed and someone capable of doing the job properly
Trustpilot
Definitely not for new runners or general public wanting to walk and get fit. No one walks it’s just a flat out race from the off and you find yourself on your own within 5 minutes. Very disappointed. I will say the volunteers were very good and supportive. So not what I expected, won’t be going again I’ll just stick to jogging on my own.
Trustpilot
This is a great idea in theory but not in reality I'm afraid. Unless your a RUNNER or to be quite honest, an athlete don't bother. . Volunteers look with disbelief when they realise your a participant just because your walking therefore way behind . By the time I personally complete the 5k (about 1 hr) every Marshall has up sticks and gone . Not even a tail walker!. Nothing!. Don't bother with ' parkrun" if you cannot run . The clue is in the name really.
Trustpilot
This organisation now says that if people quit then hundreds will take their place, we make the rules and obey or go! I completed 720 parkruns and also volunteered on hundreds of occasions, I have now stopped taking part altogether due to very poor management. They are only interested in selling things and not the feelings of those taking part especially the females.
Trustpilot
As a long time parkrunner who has recommended parkrun to countless people I can no longer give it a good rating. I have volunteered over 200 times, been an ambassador and helped set up new parkruns. Now though all the personal statistics I had built up over the years has been removed for no reason by parkrun. There is a campaign signed by 27000 people to reinstate these statistics but it appears parkrun will not even consider this. As a 73 year old ex marathon runner I used these statistics to keep me motivated in the 70-74 age group. Now I have no motivation. I have stopped parkrunning and given away any merchandise I bought over the years. Shameful way to treat long time participants.
Trustpilot
Used to be great until they scrapped the stats. both my sons love runnning them, my eldest runs both 5k and junior events, my youngest just the junior events.My eldest son often comes first at junior events, while his wee brother is usually one of the last to finish, both get their on type of enjoyment at opposite ends of the finishers, but they both loved comparing their stats with friends and trying to better themelves each time they took part.Bring back the stats, they benefit people of all abilities
Trustpilot
No stats any more. Stopped going
Trustpilot
They don't care about their community. They got rid of the stats and have a toxic attitude toward competition and sport.
