hey man im wanting to try a parkrun for fun im 14 , am i old enough and i can only run 3 minutes so far but im tryna lose weight, should and could i go, also are u allowed to walk some of it
Hi there. Yes, you’re old enough to take part. The only restrictions I’m aware of are you must be at least 4 to register, and under 11s need to be accompanied by an adult at 5k events. You can walk as much of the event as you like - even the whole thing! Since you’re 14, you would also still be able to take part in junior parkrun, which is a 2k event on Sunday mornings for 4-14 year olds. There’s not as many of them though, so I’m not sure where your closest would be.
Nice video Douglas. This is the closest event to me I haven't yet done. I must get up there and do it before 2018 is up. It looks a nice course, plus Elgin is a nice place too.

Hi Douglas, what is the music you used in the main part of the video?
@@Scottishparkruns Cheers, much appreciated! :-)
Looks like the channel rebrand has wiped my comments! For reference it was "Keep Me Burning" by Tellow ft. Matt Sierra.
