The Parkrun App

Yesterday at parkrun, we were chatting to a few people afterwards who didn’t realise there was a parkrun app. Thought I’d post on here in case there are others who haven’t yet got it. It’s absolutely brilliant!

Some of the things you can do on it include:

1. See your previous runs and stats

2. Use a map of parkruns - the map shows which runs you’ve done too

3. Look each week to see which parkruns are cancelled (they are in red on the map, or in orange if there’s a cancellation coming up in the near future)

4. Contact a parkrun to volunteer/ get a shout out

5. Follow your friends

6. Work through some of the challenges. For example, the compass challenge - to do a parkrun with north, east, south and west in the name. The alphabet challenge - to do a parkrun beginning with each letter of the alphabet.

7. It has your barcode on.

8. Shows your volunteer ratio.

I only discovered it recently too! Enjoy ☺️

There are various unofficial apps. I wasn't aware of any official ones other than the parkrun Virtual Volunteer one.

I use one for Android called "parkrunner" by Chris Hopkin.

app id = com.chrishopkin.parkrunner
