Thanks both, and yes, I agree THM.

I'd love to order the Tee, but unfortunately the address for orders is fake too ;-)

I love the idea of fake parkrun merchandise from fake parkrun HQ. That’s tickled me no end. :)

Absolute genius. Looking to my official Fetchland Fake Parkrun AK47 when I do my 47th event.

I’ve just had a count up & I have run 64 fake parkrun’s. If parkrun towers keep pushing the start date back, I may yet qualify for my 100 fake parkrun running 🏃🏼‍♂️ top. Great stuff 👍

I hope the fake parkruns continue. It's nice being able to stick your 5k time trial in somewhere, no matter when are where you do it.

I'm happy to extend the series on here for as long as anyone wants it, azx.

To be honest, I've been expecting a note to Fetch regarding our use of the parkrun name, infringement of their IPR etc but at the moment it seems they're rather busy upsetting local authorities.

Plan B is to rename them as 'Fakerun' :-)
