parkrun for the NHS

NHS staff and volunteers, as well as local communities, will be encouraged to 'parkrun for the NHS', taking place at your local parkrun on Saturday 8 July or junior parkrun events on Sunday 9 July.

'parkrun for the NHS' is an opportunity for parkruns and their local communities to acknowledge the huge contribution that the NHS makes to the health of the nation and celebrate all the staff and volunteers, past and present, who have made the NHS what it is.

There were some amazing sights during the NHS's 70th anniversary event, with many in fancy dress or NHS trademark blue, and this year's celebrations will be no different!

Many local NHS teams will be on hand at their local parkruns to provide information about the NHS as well as signposting to all the ways communities can help support the service, such as by signing up to NHS research programmes.

Keep an eye out for the Junior parkrun too!
