Submitted several times in the past but for what it is I don't think you'll find a better freebie.
All you need is your barcode!
Kickstart your New Year with parkrun. Free, weekly, accurately timed 5k runs/jogs/races for all.

I love the idea of these. This middle aged fatty is hoping to be fit enough for his first Parkrun by May! My Endomondo training plan runs to April but I suspect it'll take me longer :/

I've done our local one since I helped start it up! Yes I'm biased, but it caters to all and all are welcome.
