To clear up any confusion. parkathon 2015 is Sunday 21st June not 14th June
All details here:

A little background:
For the last four years local parkrun events have come together at various places to self-organise what became known as ‘longest chains’; seven [usually] 5K parkruns in a single day [sanctioned by, but not organised by, parkrun UK] with time to travel between stages.
Mile End 2013 [stage 6 of 7] all the completers
Regrettably, parkrun UK have decided that they can no longer be involved in any way with such an endeavour going forward, but have given their blessing for individuals to continue what has proven to be a very enjoyable and social day between local parkruns.
I therefore invite any interested parties to join me for a day of seven 5K runs, Rebranded as London parkathon [EAST] on 15 June 2014.
All details [timings and map] and extra info can be found at this link.
