Boulder Parkrun Celebrates its 200th Event
A Favorite Run for Many BRR Members
Parkrun started in London, England in 2004 as a free weekly timed 5km run every Saturday. Since then, parkrun has expanded to over 2,200 parks across 22 countries. There are even 74 events in the U.S., although you likely won’t have heard of them as they manage to stay mostly under the radar. In fact, at some of the smaller U.S. locations, the locals may be outnumbered by a contingent of foreign parkrun fanatics visiting from the UK or Australia who can’t go a week without their parkrun fix!
