r/parkrun

I have seen on several sites, and heard firsthand about the steep drop in the quality of Parkrun merchandise, Shirts and sweatshirts being worst.

Size not right, fabric awful, writing lifting within a very short time period. High price for ever lower quality.

My question is, are Parkrun at all concerned about this?

I have decided not to purchase any Parkrun products as I don't trust that they will be worth the high price, for dubious quality.

Is anyone else making the same choice 🤔

Hello everyone. I'm going to be in Manchester next Saturday, and naturally that means it's time for some parkrun tourism. Was just wondering if anyone had any advice or wanted to share their experiences of the various parkruns in Manchester and their pros and cons?

I'm going to be staying on Deansgate, so that may impact which is easiest to get to.

Yes, I'm aware I could just search for stuff on the internet, but I like hearing the views of fellow human beings and the parkrun community ☺️

Hi everyone! I’m visiting Rome in November for the first time and am planning to attend my first-ever parkrun in another country, which I’m really excited about! I’m from the UK and am currently planning to attend Roma Pineto.

I was wondering if there’s anything I should be aware of when doing parkrun in Rome? I’d also love to hear about your experiences if you’ve attended Roma Pineto, particularly what you thought of the course/atmosphere and whether there’s anything I should know beforehand.

Thank you! 😊

Staying in York this coming weekend and York Racecourse PR is not on.

We will therefore need to get to one of the two others by bike from central York.

My question is, is there anywhere to chain up the bikes (bike park preferably) at either of them. We're equidistant from both so it will come down to bike parking availability :)

UPDATE: thanks to everyone who replied. YCW it will be 🙏🏼
