Perfect for any parkrunner, or wannabe parkrunner, this concise and joyful book reveals how a Saturday 5km run in the park has become a worldwide phenomenon.

The Ultimate Guide to parkrun (always with a lower case p!) covers how parkrun started, how it is staged every week, how to get involved as a runner, walker, or volunteer – and even how to start your own run.

Written by a running writer and qualified athletics coach, this celebratory book goes behind the scenes to tell the heartwarming human stories behind parkrun. But it also brims with practical information, with training plans for different types of runners so that you can (if you wish to) improve your own finishing time.

Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the founding of the mass participation event in Autumn 2024, the book delves into parkrun’s origins as the brainchild of Paul Sinton-Hewitt, an unemployed man in London. Just 13 runners competed in the first Bushy Park Time Trial on 2 October 2004.

Now parkrun has more than 9 million runners at more than 2,200 parks in 23 countries, with the most popular countries being the UK, Australia, and South Africa.

The book features all aspects of parkrun, including how public-spirited volunteers put on the event, sustainably and for free, every week, and fun boxes such as the most interesting courses around the world, from Poland to the Falkland Islands.

These were perfect for our tropical destination wedding
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: 8/Tan, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: 8/Tan
I bought these for my husband to wear at our tropical destination wedding. They are fairly lightweight so they didn’t add too much weight to the luggage. He needs a wide in some shoes, others he can get away with a normal width. He said he felt really good. I would definitely recommend, and I would buy again.

Nice look, nice price, but not durable
Size: 12, Color: 8/Black
I really like the way the shoes looked, and the price was good. Unfortunately, the seam first busted after only about 5 months. It has been about 10 months now, and the seam is busting all the way around the shoe.

I’ve been wearing these Bruno Marc Men’s Casual Dress Shoes for a while now, and they have exceeded my expectations! The quality and craftsmanship are impressive for the price, and they look just as stylish as high-end brands. One of the best things about these shoes is their comfort—even after long hours on my feet, they still feel great. The cushioned insole provides solid support, and the fit is just right. Whether I’m at work, attending an event, or just out and about, these shoes hold up beautifully. Durability is another plus. The materials feel sturdy, and the stitching is well done. I also love the versatility—they pair well with dress pants, chinos, or even jeans. Overall, these shoes are a fantastic value. If you’re looking for a stylish, comfortable, and affordable pair of dress shoes, I highly recommend them!
