Just 2 more days until our 300th free weekly 5K. We hope to see you and yours for what looks to be the nicest Saturday morning we’ll have in 2025. 52 and sunny? You’d be a fool to sleep in! Grab a friend and your favorite morning beverage and we’ll see you at the bottom of the hill at 8:45 😎🌳🚶‍♀️

This. I’m planning to be there! I mean, I did 100 and 200, so might as well continue the trend. If you want to join me, the run/jog/walk starts at 9, down near the creek on the Trevilian side.

Supposed to be cool and sunny. Don’t miss one of the three days of fall we’re supposed to have this year.

In a little less than a month (Oct 11) we'll be hosting our 300th free weekly 5K! We've been providing Louisville a free, regular, hassle-free way to get together and get a little exercise since April 2018. We'd love to have a huge crowd that morning so tell all friends and make plans to join us!

Yesterday’s milestones! Congrats to Ethan (25 runs), Charlotte (50 runs) and Steve who volunteered for the 100th time! Most people only ever come to parkrun once!

We closed out August by welcoming 49 runners & walkers plus a few excellent barkrunners to Joe Creason on Saturday. We had several first-timers including Alex who ran our entire course in a suit after losing a fantasy football bet. He did great!

On Saturday the inaugural Brooklyn Bridge parkrun happened and 538 runners and walkers crossed the finish. This was the 2nd highest attendance ever at an American parkrun. 141 people had their barcodes scanned for the very first time. Exciting times for parkrun in the US!

New York City’s first parkrun launches this Saturday at Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. We hope this is a hit with locals. If you have friends in the area, let them know about the best way to kick off their weekend! www.parkrun.us/brooklynbrid...

As I stared longingly at my barcode, I couldn’t help but wonder… Was the real free weekly 5K the friends we made along the way?

Reminder that we’re off this week and a few others in the coming weeks. If you’re interested in still getting your parkrun fix, our closest events are in Plainfield, IN (Indy suburbs) and Lebanon, OH (outside of Cincinnati). Same distance, same price, fewer hills! www.parkrun.us/events/#geo=...
