An ode to parkrun

One of my favourite places, parkrun (and yes, the lower case p is correct!), turned 21 on 1 October 2025, so I wrote them a short poem: 

Saturday morning, the world wakes,

Eager runners, the journey takes,

Through parks and trails, we stride as one,

A community bound by parkrun fun.

From first-timers, to seasoned pace,

Each step is a joy, a shared embrace,

With cheers and smiles, the miles are done,

Here's to the saviour of parkrun!
