Next Saturday, April 26th, parkwalk are making a special effort to encourage folk to walk at their local parkrun. 

I estimate there are over 100, yes one hundred, people who have race walked now or in the past who are registered in the parkrun system. So may I encourage all those and others, if they can, to join in a parkrun event next week. If walkers are capable of using the recognised race walking technique that would be a bonus and a great way to promote our athletic event.

I know how much some of my faster race walkers are appreciated at our local event so good luck and good health to all the Race Walking community.

Chris Hobbs [Race Walking Association President]

I know that some of our members do participate regularly on the Parkrun circuit. If you can manage to support Chris’s plea it would be great to receive a bit of a report and , even. a piccie!!
