An episode all about the numbers… from finishing times to making activewear more inclusive. 

Coming up in this episode, we take a deep dive into parkrun’s own activewear brand, Contra. Contra is an inclusive range of clothes to wear when you’re getting active, and the T-shirts and bottoms don’t conform to prescriptive sizing. This inclusivity is really important to parkrun’s founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt – he explains more in the story. 

And if you’re a fan of parkrun statistics, we’ll find out how the data generated at every event goes towards making parkrun better for everyone. 

To find out more on how to take part in a parkrun event or collect a free copy of the printed magazine head over to magazine.parkrun.com. parkrun magazine is created by parkrun with the audio version made possible through editing and audio adaptation by Imogen Lees, and production by Like the Wind Media and Runcomm. 

We hope you enjoy listening.
