Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Parkrunners worldwide have been deprived of the chance of a weekly 5km race. If you’re among them, we’d love to hear from you.

What drew you to Parkrun originally, and what did you get out of it? Was it about competing with other runners, or just getting a little bit fitter? How often did you take part? Did you make friends at the runs? How badly are you missing Parkrun, and what if anything have you found to fill the gap?
