THE JOYOUS STORY OF PARKRUN – WITH RUNNING TIPS

Perfect for any parkrunner, or wannabe parkrunner, The Ultimate Guide to parkrun reveals how a Saturday 5km run in the park has become a worldwide phenomenon.

It covers how parkrun (always with a lower case p!) started, how it is staged every week, how to get involved as a runner, walker, or volunteer – and even how to start your own run.

Written by a running writer and qualified athletics coach, this book goes behind the scenes to tell the heartwarming human stories behind parkrun. But it also brims with practical information, with training plans for different types of runners so that you can (if you wish to) improve your own finishing time.

Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the founding of the mass participation event, the book delves into parkrun’s origins as the brainchild of an unemployed man in London, Paul Sinton-Hewitt. Just 13 runners competed in the first Bushy Park Time Trial on 2 October 2004.

Now parkrun has more than 9 million runners at more than 2,200 parks in 23 countries.
The book features all aspects of parkrun, including how public-spirited volunteers put on the event, sustainably and for free, every week, and fun boxes such as the most interesting courses around the world, from Poland to the Falkland Islands.
