- Only three out of 56 events in London have permission
- Parkrun chief Nick Pearson: ‘We want resumption on 26 June’
The return of parkrun in England has been pushed back until the end of next month at the earliest after organisers failed to persuade enough venues to allow it to resume on 5 June.
The news will come as a huge disappointment to the 300,000 people who take part in the free timed 5km event on a typical weekend. However organisers decided they had no choice after just 250 of the 589 venues granted approval – which risked overwhelming those events that had received the go-ahead.
