For me, the essence of parkrun is about “being there”. My reason for "being there" may be different to yours. Many of us will have reasons in common. But your reason for "being there" may be unique. That's ok. parkrun is truly for everyone. bit.ly/2CPj3c3 Glen Turner

At parkrun we chat about our latest running ‘war injuries’ and our recovery from old ones. Advice is exchanged and sympathetic nods abound. Wouldn’t it be great if we could talk as freely about our mental health? bit.ly/2QcaJqF @SeeChangeIRL parkrun Ireland Matt Shields

Wise words on #parkrun eve 📖

9 months ago, a worn out hip joint brought my parkrun Ireland journey to a halt. This Saturday, with a new bionic hip and two new lens implants in my eyes, I am returning to Griffeen parkrun for my 277th parkrun. #thefightbackbegins #dontstopmenow #loveparkrun

A reading of Lockdown I gave on the BBC this morning. May it bring peace to many +

A beautiful video put together recently to illustrate the poem Lockdown... Enjoy. May it bring peace! #lockdownpoem thanks to Joey Chanin

I wrote this before Covid 19 brought isolation, illness and death to us. Our mental health is strengthened by us “being there” for each other. If you need help, reach out to family or friends. We may have to be apart at this time but we need not be alone. bit.ly/2BalHJV

Delighted to be completing my 300th parkrun on New Year's Day at Griffeen Valley Park, my home venue for 274 runs. Slowing down but hanging in there! (And yes, there's cake in Starbucks afterwards) #loveparkrun Griffeen parkrun parkrun Ireland

We know that many keen parkrunners are willing to run in difficult weather conditions. But there is a crucial difference between "difficult" and "dangerous". And the safety of all parkrunners must always take precedence. parkrun Ireland bit.ly/3PMTnj3

Delighted with a top 10 placing at the World Master Athletics Championships in Torun, Poland in age 75+ discus throw. As this may be my only "one brief shining moment", I wish to thank those who helped me to achieve my "impossible dream". Griffeen parkrun parkrun Ireland
