I ❤️ Brierley Forest parkrun. It's a proper hub of the local community, everyone knows each other, it's so warm and friendly.
I gave it my best, my sister smashed it, my Mum walked, and her friends just had a chat on the way round.
Now everyone is in the cafe. Perfect 🤌🏻

Today marks 19 years of Saturday morning walks and runs 🎉🎈
Paul Sinton-Hewitt, the founder of parkrun, describes the early stages of parkrun with only 13 runners, before it became the global success that it is today! Proving we must all walk before we can run 🏃
