Event #395 13/06/2026

Before 1 million events… there was Event 1 🧡

But what was it really like?

Let’s go back to 2004 and take a look at the key details.

🌳

1 million parkrun events. Sounds crazy, right? 🤯

This weekend, we’ll hit that incredible milestone.

A million events delivered shows parkrun is more than a 5k or 2k. It’s shared mornings, encouragement, and a community that turns up week after week.

Thanks a million 🫶
