We need to easily identify all runners at our events, so that we can record their results. We mainly use First Names, Last Name and Memorable Phrase to this, so please provide as much information in these boxes as you can. It really helps our volunteers on event day. There are now over 16,000 runners registered to take part in our events, so we really need your help.
First Names
Please enter all first names including middle names (at the very least please enter your middle initials). A very large number of runners have now registered with us, and it makes it much easier for our volunteers to record our runners results if they can uniquely identify you. Having your middle names or initials helps us to do this.
Last Name
Please enter your family or surname.
Memorable Phrase
Please enter a memorable phrase, word, or nickname; this will be visible to the volunteers who record your result each time you run, and will help them to make sure they're recording the result for the correct person. This is optional, but it will help our volunteers, particularly if you have a common name.
Home Run
Please select the run that you think you are likely to attend most often. In most cases this will be the event nearest to where you live. You will still be able to run at any of our events whenever you want, but again it will help us to identify you at the events. On very rare occasions, we may also need to send urgent information about specific events (such as park closures), and this will let us target emails to the right group of runners.
We categorise our results by age and gender, and also calculate age gradings. Age Grading allows all our runners to compare their performance against all other runners regardless of age or gender. Further information on age grading can be found on the Running for Fitness website.
Gender
Please let us know whether you are male or female.
Date of Birth
Please enter your date of birth.
Running Club
Many of our runners are members of a running club; we keep records of top performances by members of these clubs, and send summary statistics to the results secretaries of many of them. If you are not a member of a club, or would rather not mention it, that's fine: just leave it as "Unattached". To select a club click on the button then choose your club from the list.
Email
We need your email address for three reasons:
- we send you your result whenever you run.
- occasionally we have to make corrections to the results, and may need to get in contact with you about this.
- we send out a weekly newsletter to the parkrun running community (you can opt out of receiving this if you wish).
Email Opt Out
If you would rather not receive our weekly newsletter, please let us know here. You can always opt in or out at a later date by emailing us at office@parkrun.com.
All runners must accept our Terms and Conditions; please read them carefully and indicate your acceptance by checking the accept Terms and Conditions box.
When you have finished entering your details, please press the "Check Form" button. You will then be able to check the details you have entered on the next screen, and if all is well you will be able to complete your registration.
