At our 191th parkrun in Tøyen park, 130 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 55 were first timers in Tøyen and 13 recorded new Personal Bests. Since parkrun started in Norway in 2017 at Tøyen, we have only had five events with a higher attendance than this weekend (29 July 2023).

We call it pre-festival parkrun as there is no parkrun the next two weekends on 5 or 12 August as the park is being used for Øyafestivalen. Why not visit another parkrun in the area before going to enjoy the music in Tøyen? Nansenparken parkrun in Fornebu is happening on 5 August and both Ekebergsletta parkrun and Nansenparken parkrun are taking place on 12 August.

In Tøyen this time we had over 30 visitors from different places including Tokyo, Japan, the UK from London, Manchester, and Edinburgh, Australia, and Örebro in Sweden.

We were also delighted to have many local parkrunners, both regulars and nineteen people who joined parkrun for the very first time. We hope they felt welcome and come back again.

Representatives of 20 different clubs took part.

A big shout out and “Tusen takk” to the parkrunners who volunteered this time, but especially one absolute high-viz hero Penny, who was back on the roster just three weeks after knee replacement surgery. It is fully possible to timekeep sitting down!

It was a charasterically warm, bright and sunny Oslo summer day for parkrun event 186 on 24 June.

 

Tøyen regular Bjørn Torjus Hanssen came prepared to celebrate the milestone of completing 100 parkruns and brought plenty of smiles and cheer.

He carried a hand made sign and party trumpet with him along the 5km course and at the end shared chocolate cake wit’s everyone, decorated with a parkrun theme.

Ole-Alexander Opdalshei had a milestone to celebrate too, volunteering for the 25th time.

We were pleased to host visitors from Australia and New Zealand as well as UK visitors including George and Hilary Hartley from Newcastle who volunteered to tailwalk, before embarking on a week long hiking trip in Jotunheimen national park. They will have longer distances and significantly steeper climbs there than in Tøyen park!

It was great to have lots of newcomers, we had 14 first time parkrunners including two brilliant 9 year olds. We hope they all enjoyed parkrun and will come back again.
