Brilliant to see that #Autism isn’t a barrier to volunteering @parkrunUK 👏👍
Today one of #AusomeEllies dreams came true -because of #Parkrun and because of the kindness of its participants and volunteers . She completed her first Marshall experience as WARMUP leader ❤️ Amazing 🎶 @DocRunner1 @Southportpkrun @lindawr06210728 @alisonstatham @parkrunUK

1/6 A thank you 🧵to @parkrunUK In 2021 at 84, my dad, Leo volunteered for the 1st time @Southportpkrun In Feb 24 he volunteered his 127th and final time He died 2 weeks later😢 He was an avid writer of thank you letters but didn't have the opportunity to thank parkrun...

Imagine running a 5K in <27 min with your eyes shut 🤔 That’s basically what the awesome @barton_kell achieved today for her 250th @parkrunUK event She’s been considering a crack at this for about a year. It’s a joy and a privilege to see her pull it off 👏👏👏 @PSH_A1674
For 249 parkruns I have been guided using a tether. But today for my 250th #parkrun @Southportpkrun I ran untethered & it felt amazing! With the help of 4 #guiderunners who kept me safe and gave me verbal cues to get round I finished in 26:57 #Blind #BlindRunner #LoveParkrun

Lovely morning @Southportpkrun thanks to @DocRunner1 for being my guide runner And great to see @DavidParfett01 complete his 2nd #parkrun with Mike If you’ve never done it before why not consider having a go at ‘VI guide’ volunteering at your local parkrun? #Blind #GuideRunner

If you're alone this Christmas, there is one door that is always open... ❤️ It's stories like this that make our jobs worthwhile. Tiny cogs in a machine that brings people together, saving and changing lives. Not a race. Not a run. A community.
"During conversations as a tail walker, a family of parkrunners asked me what I was doing for the rest of Christmas Day and I just told them 'no plans'. "They then went on to offer myself a place around their Christmas dinner table that day." 💬 Mark Herron 🌳 #loveparkrun

Thank you to all the speakers and participants who joined us for the 2nd @FPH Distinguished Lecture on the #FuturePublicHealth. I'm excited about this and other opportunities for public health family to share and learn together. What topics would you like us to cover in 2024?
Replying to @FPH
Today we hosted the 2nd of FPH’s Distinguished Lectures on #FuturePublicHealth with @CMO_England discussing his latest Annual Report on Healthy Ageing. Thanks to @ProfKevinFenton, @GrahamEllis247, @amritajesurasa & @seb_walsh for their views & reflections teapawt.net/FPH/status/17330782941…

One of our regular volunteers, @DocRunner1 shares how @parkrunUK helped him overcome his fear of speaking in public 👍 @tomwilliams1974 @salutidipaolo @CumbriaPR @parkrunpossum @zubaidihussain @parkrunRB @lowcarbGP
“I find speaking in public anxiety-inducing, but my @parkrunUK experiences helped me believe I can do this! It’s something we can all learn, it simply needs practice. The more I practised, the better + more confident I got” 👇 blog.parkrun.com/uk/2023/09/… @chrissiesmiles @PSH_A1674

Beautiful 🤩👇
*mascara warning* ⚠️ Gorgeous story from Weymouth parkrun. This man is 90. Every week he sits on a bench and watches parkrun go by. Today he got a special card from a little parkrunner 😭 I can't say it enough, parkrun is not a sport or a run in the park, it's a community ❤️
