Every Sunday morning, whatever the weather, a community of volunteers will transform 2km of grass and paths into a field of dreams. With trainers on and barcodes at the ready, children from 4 to 14 will take their first steps on the road to fitness, with the more experienced ones pushing each other to personal bests, all the while supported by cheering marshals offering high-fives. With wristbands to collect and the legendary Cape of the Hundred parkruns* in their sights, it’s hard to believe that all this is completely free. But it is. It really is.

My photos of the runners from the last two Sunday events are available here, but here’s a glimpse into a typical parkrun* – albeit, without any rain.
* I know: there should be a capital P in “parkrun.” But parkrun HQ insist on the lowercase version, so we’ll just roll with it.
