Event description: “Parkruns are 5 kilometre runs which happen in public parks around the UK and the world weekly. It is free of charge, easy and safe to take part. Parkrun is not a race and participants can run, walk or do a mix of both.
The organisers want to welcome everyone. Three parkruns in Shropshire are especially inviting people with learning disability to join in and get a taste for this sporting and social activity on these Saturdays this summer.
