With a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, parkrun offers a 5km event every Saturday morning, and junior parkrun, a 2km event for 4-14-year-olds and their families, every Sunday morning. There are currently 150 events across the country that are continuously expanding. Launched in Ireland in 2012, their goal is to bring parkrun to every community that wants one with the support of passionate local teams to help make this vision a reality.

In this role, you will be at the forefront of creating and nurturing partnerships with sponsors, government bodies, and community groups, all while supporting over 200 event directors across the country. Your strategic vision will contribute to a significant goal: doubling participation over the next five years.
