All you ever wanted to know about parkrun but didn’t know whom to ask
David Hindley’s Parkrun: An Organised Running Revolution (Routledge) is the first book to take an in-depth look at parkrun – the free, weekly, timed 5km run on a Saturday morning – and to examine why its participants love it so much and why it has been such an astonishing success. Fred Mason is our reviewer and he finds that Hindley explores the parkrun phenomenon deeply and critically, and covers ideas of community, identity, volunteering, and public health interventions.
