Only just discovered this thread. I do an occasional fake parkrun in Xylo Park (I'm looking forward to the day they start a real parkrun there!) but I rarely do it on a Saturday. I was thinking of having another go at it tomorrow - does it count for this thread or is it just a Saturday morning and running an existing parkrun route - don't want to break any rules!

Most people do it over a fairly flexible weekend, few of mine have been on a Saturday. I've run some actual local parkruns and also made up my own routes. Whilst I do it as a 5 km route start to end, my mate sometimes records his (as a notparkrun, rather than fakeparkrun) from the first 5 km of a longer run. Then he slows down

@Baroness, if you want to add any older 5k runs as a 'race' then there are weekly fake parkruns listed back to March. Just pick the ones that are nearest to your run dates and add them.

Very late to the party, but please can I join in? I’ve spent the last couple of months building up to running 5k after injury but could do with some motivation to keep it going now!

It's for anyone Alice. It's another good reason to get going at least once a week.

I was going to do the fakeparkrun course today but cut it short due to too many people/dogs/kids on bikes on the paths. And it started raining! But I'll have another go sometime this week. As long as I can remember in which order the long/short/clockwise/anticlockwise loops around the park go to get to 5k!

I've put the next 8 into my race portfolio. A Saturday 5k tempo run will fit in well with my 10k training plan.

With a mixture of ice and mud and snow and uneven footing - all I managed was a tail walker 62 minutes. I'm waiting for less slippiness before I get my running shoes out again. On the plus side this was 30 minutes quicker than the same walk earlier in the week (disgusting mix of ice and mud - but still good being outside).
