Parkrun’s 21st anniversary

That this House celebrates the 21st anniversary of Parkrun on 14 October 2025; recognises that what began in 2004 with just 13 runners in Bushy Park, London, has grown into a global movement involving millions of walkers, joggers, runners, and volunteers in communities across the UK and around the world; commends Parkrun’s outstanding contribution to public health, community cohesion and wellbeing by providing free, weekly, timed events that are accessible to all regardless of age, background, or ability; pays tribute to the thousands of volunteers whose commitment makes Parkrun possible every weekend; and looks forward to the continued success of Parkrun in encouraging physical activity, social connection, and healthier, happier lives for all.
