Our spies have spotted @DocRunner1 doing some @parkrunUK tourism @finsburyparkrun today
If you tag us in to your touring parkrun photos we’ll repost them all 👍
If you have a visual impairment, why not join us on a Saturday morning?
We have a pool of guide runners and walkers if needed - just email us and we’ll link you up
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...
This morning Mike and I were invited on to BBC Breakfast to talk about all things #GuideRunning & about my 250th solo run @Southportpkrun last Saturday.
You can watch the interview at 06:50 👇

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 👏👏👏

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
We had 3 people with visual impairments and 3 guides participating @Southportpkrun today
We’d love even more
If you have a visual impairment and fancy being involved in any capacity, just send us an email or reply to this tweet
#VI@StVincentsL12@salutidipaolo
An absolute joy to be a guide runner for @barton_kell again
If you have a visual impairment it needn’t to be a barrier to walk, jog, run or volunteer at your local @parkrunUK event
Just contact the team via the event website
We’ll do our best to provide any support you may need
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.
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?
This weekend @parkrun will record its 100 millionth instance of participation
100 million times people have joined in with their local community - walking, jogging, running and volunteering (we'd record spectating if we could!)
100 million chips towards happier healthier lives
Love blossoms @parkrunUK ❤️
@barton_kell and @AstroMYK met @Southportpkrun when he acted as her guide runner at her 2nd ever parkrun
7 years and very many parkruns later they’ve only only gone and got married 💕
Huge congratulations to 2 amazing, inspirational people 😍🎊👏
