Walk, jog, run, volunteer, spectate… there are so many ways you can join in at parkrun. The magazine transports parkrun’s spirit of inclusivity to the printed page, packing each issue with stories about getting healthier and happier. If you haven’t ordered your free copy already, navigate here to do so.
Inside the pages of the latest issue, we celebrate volunteers: the teams of people who come together each weekend to ensure that parkrun events take place enjoyably and safely. Being a volunteer doesn’t require any special skills – in fact, it’s a chance to learn new ones! Volunteering is also a brilliant opportunity to meet new people. We hear from volunteers of all ages from all over the UK, chatting about what putting on the hi-vis means to them.
Do you like to treat yourself to a takeaway? How about making your favourite takeaway treats healthier and cheaper… and you don’t have to worry about anything being too spicy or too soggy? We’ve got recipes for some takeaway classics you can make at home – and exactly the way you want.
There’s an interview with Casualty star George Rainsford, who challenged himself to complete parkruns in every town he visited during a recent theatre tour, as well as the latest news about parkrun’s development as a charity. Plus, if you’ve ever been daunted by the thought of trying out a new hobby, we’ve found out about a few pastimes and sports you might like to try… and spoken to people who enjoy them.
