Description
Parkrun: An Organised Running Revolution
This in-depth look at parkrun reveals why its participants love it so much and why it has been such an astonishing success. Author David Hindley draws on new research, including interviews with other runners, volunteers and organisers, to shine a light on the unique combination of ingredients that make parkrun's magic formula tick.
From its humble beginnings in 2004 to the global network it is today, parkrun has become a model for sustainable public participation in social life. This book provides a behind-the-scenes look at the themes that underpin parkrun, including inclusion, volunteering, community and health and well-being. It's a worthwhile read for anyone involved with parkrun or working in related fields.
