Our supporters differ slightly from our sponsors in that they are involved in growing the number of parkrun events or are partnering to improve our existing offering.

London Marathon injects much needed resources with the specific goal of seeing more events in London and across the UK. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, provides funding to parkrun for community sports participation focused on increasing participation in sport and physical activity amongst Londoners. Lloydspharmacy are supporting the start up of a set number of events this year, while Three and aql are partnering to offer and enhanced experience to the parkrunner and the volunteer communities. All these organisations have one thing in common, they want everyone throughout the country to have access to free activities that bring communities together and improve our well-being.
