Now you can listen to parkrun magazine! We want to make parkrun magazine accessible to as many people as possible so, in addition to the print version, we’ve created a free audiozine, too. It’s perfect for listening to on the way to work, in quiet moments or while you’re out and about walking, jogging or running – basically, any way that suits you. It costs nothing to download. Each episode of the audio magazine contains a selection of stories and features adapted from the print edition all about getting started on a more active lifestyle, plus hints and tips about becoming healthier and happier. You’ll also find plenty of stories about the communities around parkrun events. 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.Stay tuned for the full launch of Season 1 coming soon.Website: magazine.parkrun.com Email: [email protected]
