Joggers enjoy first Parkruns in England since lockdown ended
July 25, 2021
LONDON: Joggers and walkers have said they are delighted after taking part in the first Parkruns in England for adults since coronavirus restrictions were lifted.
The free 5km runs, which take place in parks, were suspended during the pandemic. They are billed as a chance for people regardless of age, gender or ability to regularly run, jog or walk together and enjoy their local park.
Lots of people stayed behind to cheer on Paul Williams, 63, who was the last of the 293 finishers at the Southwark Parkrun in south-east London.
Williams, who has learning disabilities and a bad leg, has been a familiar face at the weekly event which he first started attending in 2015.
