Parkrun (5km). Why so little interest in the US/Canada?

Q (after Paris Gold): " There has been a lot of talk in South London this week about how you [Yee] hold the course record at Dulwich Parkrun. Is this something you’ll ever be back to defend?

Yee: “It would be cool at some point to do a Parkrun again. My granddad who’s 92 does a Parkrun every week. He’s probably got a bit more of a reputation than me, to be honest! So it would be good to do one with him or go back and do Dulwich because I really enjoyed running there. Doing those Parkruns on the weekend were really part of my development to where I am now.”

Euan Bowman, Territory Manager for North America said:

“We’re thrilled to be launching this new parkrun in New York City, which marks a really important step in our growth journey across the USA. Having doubled the number of American locations over the past 3 years, we’re on target to continue this trend with the aim of making parkrun accessible to all Americans.”

"Well, I didn’t have my QR code, so I couldn’t get an official time, but the guy I was with did 19:50 minutes and I was a bit behind him,” said Thomas. “He dropped me on the downhill.

“I reckon I was just under 20 [minutes].”

"As [my brother’s] wedding was going on, my time was getting better,” joked Thomas. “By midnight, I was doing 16-something.”
