I am definitely not famous on Hive or any other social media platform but I am pretty well known in my local parkrun circles. I have been showing up to theses free weekly timed events for more than twelve years now. I used to run with a club and also played a bit of football but was happy so see an advertisement for parkrun when it first started expanding in our area. It was a perfect match for me in this phase of my life. There was a lot less commitment and expensive than any thing else I had ever been involved with. It still felt like I was getting a fitness hit, as well as a bit of competition and getting to connect with some of my local community. They like it if you can help out with some volunteering from time to time. I have done most of the roles, they are all very easy but prefer pacing or course set up so I still get to run as well.
Just showing up week after week, year after year meant I got to meet and make friends with a lot people. There are quite a few people out there with better and bigger stats than mine but I am proud of all my totally arbitrary numbers that I have been able to collect so far. I am still keen to do more, it will be interesting to see if I can make it to 1000 parkrun events in the next 10 years. Being well known at my little local parkrun is about as famous as I would like to be.
I really admire your commitment to the weekly parkruns and your enthusiasm. Stay healthy and keep enjoying this great activity! 👍
Cheers do you have any near you?
No, no, there's nothing like that here.
That's a good point. Consistency can make people now you.
That would be amazing, and you are already half way there 👏👏

Love this. Those photos are great as well. It's nice to be connected to a community, when people are happy to see you, and you're happy to be part of it. Although I am not and will never be a runner, I really envy what you do. You don't need to be famous, because plenty of folk like me think you're cool.
Plenty of people just walk parkrun, Though getting to surf daily is probably cooler!
