I sadly don't often have time to get to parkrun as I enter a lot of longer events but know many people who do, and it's changed their lives. Thrilled to see that Parkrun: Much More Than Just a Run in the Park won the Best Book award at the recent Running Awards. www.amazon.co.uk/parkrun-much-more-than-just/dp/0956946070 In my opionion parkrun should get a knighthood! I have told soooo many people about parkrun as the fact that it's free removes all barriers to entry. When I told some Americans about it they were amazed - and wished it was happening in their town. We are so lucky to have it - and the incentive to have fun while exercising. I know an 81 year old man who is sooo proud of getting his 100th T-shirt. Just amazing.

That's what I love most about our local parkrun - there is no pressure to run if you'd rather walk as they wait for EVERYONE! Everyone gathers round chatting at the end to cheer the slower ones in so it makes it really sociable. I think PSH should be knighted for what he's done to encourage so many people to attempt running.
