HunkyTeddy 16 Jun 4:44pm, 16 Jun 2024 10,278 posts	0 HunkyTeddy Blast from the past this thread! Remember Fake parkruns? Remember Covid? What different times they were (and as an introvert I miss some aspects of it!)
Sigh 16 Jun 7:40pm, 16 Jun 2024 26,900 posts	0 Sigh I do remember them, fondly! I reached peak fitness going into lockdown, and then improved further. I ran my parkrun PB in December '19, 5 mile PB in Feb '20, and HM PB in Sept '20 - all at live races, too. Happy days.
Rascal 16 Jun 7:48pm, 16 Jun 2024 182 posts	0 Rascal Fake parkruns. Bonkers when you think back. Crazy times. I did The Fakes for 15 months before real parkrun return. I certainly embrace & appreciate the social aspect more now. Pandemic was a lonely time. Curse that Covid.

Following the return of real live parkruns, this thread has naturally lost interest; I'm glad it's been here to help folks during the dark days of lockdown.

I've listed them up until 30 October '21, if you would like me to list more then please fmail me and I'll get right onto it.

Listing for 30 Oct '21 (for ease of reference):
