If you follow us, but have never done a parkrun, do you know that you don't have to run, you can walk?

Here's a plan from HQ about how to gently get to the point of being able to walk 5k, maybe you could use it as a lockdown target, then when we are back you can come and join in.

Happy Christmas

Posted on December 24, 2020 by prestonparkoffice

Hello all, wishing you a healthy and peaceful Christmas - here's a quick reminder of last year when the core team and volunteers were doing their best to appear relaxed when 867 of you came out for a run! It was wonderful, but still makes us go weak at the knees thinking about it, we ran out of tokens and the finish funnel was only just long enough!

Thanks to Sarah for the photo/video montage.

If you're planning to run in the park on Christmas day, please don't all be on the start line at 9am as that may look to the general public as though we have an organised run, so if you do run, different times and routes is better, thanks.

With Sussex going into tier 4 soon, we're only allowed to run with 1 person outside your house/bubble - there are people running in the park at all sorts of times of day so if you're feeling isolated maybe try a run in the park, wear a parkrun T and say hello to runners you meet.

Finally, be assured that parkrun will be back at some point, we'll let you know as soon as we know!Here's a link to the video -
