Parkrun Challenge

The Parkrun Challenge 2026 kicks off on Saturday 17th January at Rushcliffe.

As you can see, October has a Parkrun that doesn't exist yet! But I hear it should be on by
this time. If it isn't then I will amend!

As always, you don’t have to be in for the competition element to come to any or all of the
parkruns. Just arrive at 08:50 if you want to be in the photo and for some pre parkrun chat.
And please ensure your parkrun details include Holme Pierrepont as your club, so I can find
you on results day..
