Google Millennium Park parkrun. It was active briefly a couple of summers ago in Alberta. Sadly the event directors couldn't find anyone else to continue the event after they moved away. Would have loved to do that one!
We had a great group. Young and old, fast and slow, two and four legged. 8 beautiful volunteers assisted including Run Director Sydney who volunteered for the 50th time!
Make plans to join us for Joe Creason 327 this Saturday at 8:45. Let’s kick the loneliness epidemic one parkrun at a time!
