Warning! Avoid your local parkrun if you do not wish to experience fun, friendship and massive encouragement for all, whether fast or slow.

@patnewham @CharteredAccIrl Was idly looking up people in the firm where I trained for our annual gathering last week and your name came to mind.

Delighted with a top 10 placing at the World Master Athletics Championships in Torun, Poland in age 75+ discus throw. As this may be my only "one brief shining moment", I wish to thank those who helped me to achieve my "impossible dream". @griffeenparkrun @parkrunIE

We know that many keen parkrunners are willing to run in difficult weather conditions. But there is a crucial difference between "difficult" and "dangerous". And the safety of all parkrunners must always take precedence. @parkrunIE

Delighted to be completing my 300th parkrun on New Year's Day at Griffeen Valley Park, my home venue for 274 runs. Slowing down but hanging in there!
(And yes, there's cake in Starbucks afterwards) #loveparkrun @griffeenparkrun @parkrunIE

I wrote this before Covid 19 brought isolation, illness and death to us. Our mental health is strengthened by us “being there” for each other. If you need help, reach out to family or friends. We may have to be apart at this time but we need not be alone.

9 months ago, a worn out hip joint brought my @parkrunIE journey to a halt.
This Saturday, with a new bionic hip and two new lens implants in my eyes, I am returning to @griffeenparkrun for my 277th parkrun. #thefightbackbegins #dontstopmenow #loveparkrun

Guinness world record achieved. 21 hours in total as the high passes in the Himalayas were mental today. Over 5250 metres most of the time. Time record didn't work but highest altitude for the ultra marathon by an individual did. Just in now. 2am exhausted. @irishathletics

Wise words on #parkrun eve 📖

For me, the essence of parkrun is about “being there”. My reason for "being there" may be different to yours. Many of us will have reasons in common. But your reason for "being there" may be unique. That's ok. parkrun is truly for everyone. bit.ly/2CPj3c3 @parkrunpossum
