A presenter and parkrunner from Leeds was invited to a special day at 10 Downing Street last Monday as the charity looks ahead to its 20th anniversary.
George Webster, who was the first person with Down Syndrome to become a presenter on the BBC, visited No 10 and explained: “I absolutely love parkrun. “Going to Number 10 Downing Street this week to celebrate the most incredible 20 years of parkrun was so much fun. “It was amazing to run around the garden, along the front and up the famous stairs to the finish in the reception itself. The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak started the run too.
So why not? You never know where you will end up!” The No 10 reception hosted by Lucy Frazer MP, Secretary of State for Culture Media & Sport saw parkrun staff, volunteers, trustees, partners, funders, and representatives from local parkrun events across the four home nations come together with a host of MPs to recognise the incredible contribution made by parkrun in the UK and internationally over the last two decades.
