If you only do one parkrun this summer, make sure it’s Saturday 18th August – on the first weekend between the Olympics Closing Ceremony and the start of the Paralympics.
That’s when Park Run are teaming up with Join In Local Sport to help create the UK’s biggest ever celebration of local sport.
Join In aims to bring the huge enthusiasm for sport from London 2012 back to every community in the UK. It’s a once in a lifetime celebration of everyone who helps to make an Olympian – from the coaches to the tea ladies, the competitors to the volunteers and supporters. Find out more at joininuk.org
The idea is to get as many people running on Saturday the 18th August at every single parkrun around the country.
So if your friends have been inspired by Mo, Jess or the Brownlee brothers, make sure they join you at your parkrun on the 18th. Don’t forget to get them registered on the site first!
For us, the local Park run is at Whitstable.
