List of unofficial parkrun clubs

[Jogger22]

I would like to find out more about the different unofficial parkrun clubs such as the alphabet list etc. Please could someone help me find this information. Is there a list on a website somewhere?🤗

I use an app on my phone called Running Achievements. There is a Google chrome add on for PC too. I just use the app on my phone now. Running Achievements is very good. You just enter your parkrun number and all your information comes up on the app. All the unofficial parkrun clubs are there.

Thanks so much damienair That's fantastic. I've taken a look. The only thing is under achievements/ Jordon - it doesn't register any of the runs I have done. It says "complete at least one run in each of the UK regions. And also under achievements/ world tourist - it doesn't register the one run I've done abroad. It says "run in 4 or more different countries" Is there an email address for reporting issues with the app? 🤗

There are lots of apps but you answered the question yourself when you used the word unofficial. The challenges are different on different apps and anybody can invent a new challenge or adapt an existing one, including yourself. So you won’t find them all in one place. It’s also fair to say that most challenges are good clean fun but some encourage selfish behaviour (entirely unintentionally) so what I always say is enjoy using the apps but don’t let them tell you what to do: stay in charge yourself.

Thanks ArthurJG I'm currently following the "Running Achievements" app. It would be interesting to know how many people have completed each challenge and when but I don't think it shows those stats. Can you recommend any other challenge apps I could look at please? Definitely don't won't to do any that encourage selfish behaviour. 😀
