GoodGym Liverpool Does parkrun! (Princes Park)

parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5K run happening in parks and beaches and running tracks all around the world every Saturday morning, and anyone can run, walk or volunteer at any event.

Many of you will already be active parkrun runners/walkers and volunteers, and many of you may never have gone to one before, but we thought it would be fun to have once a month GoodGym Liverpool get together to enjoy the phenomenon that is parkrun! It's also a great chance to come and join in with us if you've never been to a parkrun before.

At the end we can all head to Lark Lane for breakfast together too (venue to be decided, suggestions welcome?)

We're naming Princes parkrun as our official Home parkrun as it's the closest to our usual meeting point on Hope Street, but if you can't make it to Princes Park you can still sign up and let us know in the comments which parkrun you are doing, and then send us a picture of yourself to add into the report too.

The beauty of parkrun is that it doesn't matter if you are a serious runner or have never ran before, you can do the 5K however you like (walk, hop, boogie, plod, run like billy-o), you can also volunteer to help marshal the runners round the route, scan tokens, cheer everyone on etc. So wherever you are at with fitness/desire to run you can join us and be part of GoodGym Liverpool Does parkrun!
