The project

Parkrun is a free, weekly, 5k community event in open spaces around the world, and is completely driven by volunteers. It started in 2004 in the UK and has gained popularity all over the world since then. People walk at parkrun, others jog, some run, many volunteer, and a few do a bit of everything! You can take part however you want, at whatever speed you want. Everyone is welcome and nobody comes last – there is a tail walker volunteer for that!

Although many surrounding countries already joined the parkrun community and organize weekly parkruns, it has been non-existing in Belgium. We want to change that, as we think it is an excellent way to get people moving in a fun way, without too much pressure. So we started the preparations to initiate parkrun in my local town Bornem.

Target group :
parkrun is for everyone who likes to run or walk, or wants to start moving a bit more in a fun way. Everyone is welcome and nobody comes last.

Keywords :
fun, free, run or walk, at your own pace, physical and mental health, community, volunteers, social, charity, outdoor.

My role in this project

Modify the existing parkrun logo to "parkrun bornem" and create an enticing flyer, and some very cool gadgets and tools. This can help to persuade local governments and enterprises to support or sponsor us.
