ParkRun is a free 5K fun run every Saturday at 8 am in New Zealand.
ParkRun started in the UK 20 years ago and now there are over 2,500 ParkRun's in over 20 countries.
There are 54 in New Zealand alone.
Every week people's milestones of 25, 50, 100, and 250 ParkRuns are announced.
Today marked my 25th ParkRun - a small goal of mine.
It was fulfilling.
You can walk, jog or run the event, making it accessible for all people.
Kids do it and there are parents who push their young kids in buggies.
ParkRun is also a good way to meet new people.
After the run, people meet at the local cafe, which gives 10% discount on coffee orders - another good reason to go!
As the ParkRun is always every Saturday, I find it a convenient way to just join and run.
I am always amazed how a 25 minute run sets me up for the day.
If you are looking for a free consistent way to exercise I recommend ParkRun.
