Parkrun is a weekly 5km running event that is volunteer led and completely free to enter. There are many parkrun events all over the world including a hugely popular event in Pollok Park. It’s really accessible and a great way to track your running progress. Pollok Park hold the event every Saturday morning at 9:30. Interested members should visit http://www.parkrun.org.uk/glasgow/. From here you should register and select CrossFit Glasgow as your team! You must register before attending as when you register you are sent a barcode that you need to print and take to the event! This is scanned upon completion of your run and your time, position and age-graded score will then be made available to you online. I think it would be great if we could get a decent CFG presence on the first Saturday of each month. It would be great training for members but it could potentially be huge publicity for the box…some weeks there have been over 500 runners in attendance. Last week there was a large turnout from a local running club (looked to be about 20-30 of them there) and they were mentioned on the Facebook page, in the newsletter and the twitter account.
Jack will be taking part in this event, you can find him on FaceBook in the member’s section or at the gym most mornings.
