"Parkrun is a weekly community event where people of all ages and abilities are invited to walk, jog, run or volunteer in a 5K every Saturday morning in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The event is designed to be a positive, community-focused event that is welcoming for all. To join, you register online to receive a unique barcode used to track, time and record your participation and results, even though it's not a formal race. The group also meets for a post-event coffee and snack catch-up at the Breads Bakery near Brooklyn's Pier 1."
"Since its official launch in NYC last month, Parkrun has hosted weekly 5K events every Saturday at Brooklyn Bridge Park, welcoming over 2,000 participants. But this event isn't exclusive to only NYC residents. Parkrun is actually a worldwide, global event, with its first U.S. event launching in Michigan back in 2012. It was first created in the UK and its popularity has stretched all the way to Japan, South Africa and Australia, with 3,000 local events happening every weekend across the world."
