Parkrun set to return to Poole next month

parkrun Global Chief Executive Officer Nick Pearson announces intent to resume parkrun events in England towards the end of October.

Parkrun lovers will be pleased to hear that there are plans in place to start up the popular 5k runs again by the end of next month, which in Poole takes place at the popular Poole Park location each Saturday at 9am. You can find out more about Poole Parkrun here.

Ever since parkrun events closed in the UK and across the world, they have been focused on understanding how and when they would be able to resume in a safe and appropriate way.

Throughout, the organisers have sought to understand the evidence, to be a part of discussions with government and public health bodies, to listen to the parkrun community, and to communicate regularly, transparently and honestly.

Following detailed conversations with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Sport England, and Public Health England, Global Chief Executive Officer of Parkrun is delighted to announce that they intend to reopen parkrun and junior parkrun events in England towards the end of October this year.
