Outdoor exercise counts for double this time of year. The air is crisp, the colours out of this world, and interactions with nature appreciated even more.

That’s why we’re welcoming November with another leafy run…

This Week’s Theme: Parks 🏞️

Parks are places of birdsong and play. Somewhere to pause and dream. Pockets of wilderness that are welcoming to all.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll make an instant beeline into a park if passing on a run.

Parks offer runners welcome relief and recreation away from the polluted air and hectic streets of city life. Bringing the countryside into the city. And trees into the daily life of urbanites.

On this Joy Run we’ll make a special visit to our favourite green spaces and share them with the world.

Examples include:

  • running through as many parks as you can

  • picking a park as a destination to end your run

  • soaking up the last flowers and leaves of autumn

  • taking a pit stop at a park cafĂ©

  • a moment of reflection in a leafy sanctuary

  • running the rings of nature on a greenbelt

  • turning countryside trails into your own playground

  • romantics making use of a boating lake

As always, don’t forget to tag Joy Runs on Instagram or TikTok with your efforts.
