Parkrun will finally resume on 26 June in England following a huge rush of late approvals over the past 24 hours. The decision, which was first revealed by the Guardian, came after more than 500 of the 589 local councils and landowners across England gave permission for the restart. Crucially, parkrun also now has enough events in major cities, including London, Manchester and Newcastle, to avoid some events being overwhelmed. Meanwhile, London now has just shy of 40 approvals from 56 events, when it had just three in mid-May. However, parkrun organisers warned their decision was subject to any changes in the roadmap announced by the prime minister on Monday 14 June.
