I'd say no to any Brexit related group, we are politically neutral.

A political group (or equally a business) is taking advantage of us getting people together so they can put their point of view - we don't put all the effort into getting those people together for someone else's benefit!

I can't see any fun in engaging with the arseholes who have ruined the country with their lies. Come to our parkrun and see what happens.

If one of your parkrun team had sanctioned a Remain related group turning up to run and volunteer one Saturday, for instance wearing European flat shirts, would you say this is acceptable thing or not.

What the heck is a "McDonalds t-shirt"? Is that a thing?!

What if the group was the Brexit Running Club? ;-)

Actually, I felt somewhat uncomfortable with the parkrun Remembrance Day stuff that my local run (and others) had. And have questions about the parkrun/NHS stuff to.

(I think the Brexit group thing is a total no-no, and that goes for anything political, including whatever I support.)

In agreement with that Dvorak - anything that presumes everyone thinks about something in a consistent way *other than parkrun itself* feels uncomfortable at a parkrun event.

Remember when we were all asked to invite our local MP down to have a look at parkrun?

That.
