parkrun Returns – October 2020
In the middle of 2020, we hoped that parkrun would return later in October 2020. Clearly, that did not happen. 2021 looks much more positive and parkrun in the UK have said that they hope to be able to re-start most parkruns in early June.
Yet, with the priority on children’s health, the junior events could start in a couple of weeks.
- junior parkrun events across England will be able to return from Sunday 11 April 2021.
- all 5k parkrun events across England will return on Saturday 5 June 2021.
