Give yourself a good warmup and make sure you are well hydrated, starting tonight and you will probably be fine.

Just do the Oldfloss

If they're just aching rather than hurting then I'd say you may be fine - although it may impact your speed and stamina. I don't stretch before Parkrun - I make sure I park a little way away so that my legs get a bit of a warm up on the walk to the start.

They're def not hurting....just a def ache...just walked the dog for 4 miles so maybe that's what's made them achy??!! Looking forward to my first park run and doing W5R3 at the same time...fingers crossed....thank you
