We are properly excited to announce the forthcoming launch of the Belvoir Castle parkrun.

Mark is a massive advocate of parkrun, the national (in fact, now international) series of weekly, timed, 5km runs that take place every Saturday at 9am. He’s completed over 150 around the country and has seen the transformative effect they can have on peoples’ fitness, mental health and sense of community.

Belvoir Castle embraced the idea of a parkrun straight away and have been massively supportive in getting the event up and, (if you’ll excuse the pun), running.

Who are parkruns for? Everyone! – of all ages … from elite athletes, to keen amateur runners, to joggers, to walkers.

Mark, Heather (from Belvoir Castle) and Darren (from Parkrun) launched the event to a very healthy audience on a Zoom broadcast last Monday. You’ll find a recording on our Facebook page as a post if you missed it.

We aim to launch late-Summer, but it won’t happen unless we gather a team of willing and able volunteers! Occasional volunteers are welcome, we also need a core team. So get in touch via mark@cafeallez.uk if this sounds good to you …
