It is not supposed to be a race and it is supposed to be very inclusive, everybody is welcome and the volunteers will wait for anyone no matter how slow. I don't think it will take you long to make your 35 minute target anyway, especially if you are running/walking most days. Get yourself a barcode and give it a go - we will all be cheering for you!
Thank you Pete. I know and love the idea behind parkruns - nonetheless it seems to be somewhat more "race like" here in Poland when consider the results (from the point of view of a beginner) Last Saturday there was 53 runners: 50 were below 29 min, 3 persons about 36 min.But I will be only happy to shift that "sportive" trend to more recreation
