List of Parkruns in the United States of America
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
This is a list of parkruns in the United States of America, based on the current parkrun USA events page.[1][2]
Parkrun is the name given to the collection of 5K runs that take place every Saturday morning in 57 different locations throughout the country.[3][4] While the majority of events begin at 09:00AM each Saturday, some locations start earlier (or later) due to environmental factors or use agreements with their hosting park; it is important to check the event's webpage (see list below) to confirm the start time. The highest attendance for an event in the USA is 363 at Jamaica Pond parkrun.[5] As of February 2023, since the first event in the US, held in Livonia, Michigan on 2 June 2012, 79,376 unique runners and 8,899 volunteers have participated.[6]
