Parkrun On Tour: Crystal Palace
Our "Parkrun on Tour" is halfway through 2022! Eight GoodGymers came out for our sixth edition and this time, we were in Crystal Palace! Yet, since Wireless Festival is being setup, the course was changed from a 2 lapper to a 2.25 lapper. We had to do the initial steep(ish) hill three times.
Now, that's six out of six for sunny weather with these "Parkruns on Tour". With optimal conditions, 7 GoodGymers from GG Bromley, Ealing, Hounslow and Southwark were ready to take the course! Tim Lund opted to volunteer as a Tail Walker as they were in desperate need of volunteers.
We all lined up for the start and then off we went! Setting our own pace, here were the results:
- Sam - 23rd (21:57)
- Matt - 71st (24:13)
- Liv - 114th (26:46)
- Carina - 119th (27:12) - Personal Best
- Laura - 176th (29:36)
- Ian - 197th (30:19)
- Dave - 261st (36:46)
- Tim - 299th (1:02:04) - Tail Walker
After the parkrun and a group photo, we made our way to Black & Green Cafe for a deserved coffee/tea!
Well done everyone and looking forward to seeing you on another "Parkrun on Tour". The next one we'll be heading to Peckham Rye on Saturday 30th of July. I won't be there myself, but there will be a few from GG Southwark. Check the details and sign up here!

What are parkruns?
Parkruns are free, weekly, community events all around the world. Saturday morning events are 5k and take place in parks and open spaces. You can run, walk or volunteer at parkruns. You can even take your dog (if you have one) along! If you have never run a parkrun before, they are a great way to get into running in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Remember, it's FREE, but you can register here to keep a profile (number of parkruns you do, times, etc.).
