Our Story

Born from a passion for parkrunning and a desire to celebrate the incredible achievements of runners, ParkRunRecord was created to be the definitive source for parkrun records. Each week, we meticulously update our database with the latest records as they are broken every Saturday.

Our Mission

We aim to:

• Provide Accurate Data: Ensuring that every parkrun course record is verified and up-to-date.
• Celebrate Achievements: Highlighting the fantastic accomplishments of parkrunners across the UK and Australia.
• Inspire Runners: Motivating the parkrun community by showcasing the best performances and encouraging others to strive for their personal bests.

What is Parkrun?

Parkrun (stylised as parkrun) is a collection of 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) events for runners, walkers, and volunteers that take place every Saturday morning at more than 2,000 locations in 22 countries across five continents. Founded by Paul Sinton-Hewitt on 2 October 2004 at Bushy Park in London, England, the event was originally called the Bushy Park Time Trial. It grew into a network of similar events called the UK Time Trials, before adopting the name Parkrun in 2008 and expanding into other countries. The first event outside the United Kingdom was launched in Zimbabwe in 2007, followed by Denmark in 2009, South Africa and Australia in 2011, and the United States in 2012. Sinton-Hewitt was appointed CBE for his services to grassroots sport in 2014. By October 2018, over 5 million runners were registered worldwide, now over 10 million.

Events take place at a range of locations including parks, stately homes, forests, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, beaches, promenades, prisons, and nature reserves. A Parkrun milestone T-shirt is offered to volunteers and runners who have participated in a number of runs. Runners can travel to and complete any Parkrun event around the world.
