    parkrun is absolutely brilliant. Actually welcoming to all abilities—many clubs don't have a pace group for the very slowest of runners, parkrun has a sweeper who walks to ensure that they're absolutely last—socialization afterwards if that's your thing, dependable, and truly community driven. I realize I'm just reiterating the article but take it as personal confirmation.
