Mingo parkrun

08/27/2026

Saturday morning checklist:

☑️ Wake up ridiculously early
☑️ Wonder why you agreed to this
☑️ Put on running shoes
☑️ Pretend you’re excited
☑️ Run or walk 5K
☑️ Finish and immediately decide it was “actually quite enjoyable”
☑️ Do it all again next week

😂

parkrun is back this Saturday!

No pressure. No judgment. Just 5K, good people, questionable pacing strategies, and the eternal hope that this week will somehow be faster than last week.

Come along and join us! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🙌

Looks like we are all set for volunteers this Saturday! Thank you to all who have volunteered!

Also, we have photos from last weeks festivities.

🚨 Breaking News from Mingo parkrun HQ! 🚨

Scientists have confirmed that Saturday mornings are 37% more fun when they include a 5K, great people, and post-run coffee. (Don’t fact-check us… just come and see for yourself! 😄)

Join us this Saturday at Mingo parkrun whether you’re aiming for a personal best, enjoying a leisurely walk, chasing your kids, or simply perfecting your “I definitely meant to run that pace” face. Everyone is welcome!

⚠️ One small hitch…

Our finish line has developed a rare condition known as Token Deficiency Syndrome. The only known cure? One amazing volunteer to hand out finish tokens! It’s an easy, front-row seat to all the finish-line smiles, and you’ll earn plenty of gratitude (and probably a few high-fives).

If you’d like to be this week’s Finish Token Hero, let us know in the comments or send us a message.

See you Saturday for another fantastic morning of walking, jogging, running, volunteering, and laughing together. Let’s make it another great Mingo parkrun! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉

Mingo Parkrun #2 was a success!

Comments from Rand Guebert:

As Run Director today for Mingo parkrun #2, I had a great time with the volunteers and parkrunners. We had rain again during the event, but it did not dampen spirits. We were privileged to have three visitors from Germany in the group. I am beginning to see the power of parkrun tourism.

Also, at the coffee afterwards I discovered that Josh Styron, who was visiting from Ann Arbor, and I both graduated from Parkway West High School in suburban St. Louis--he in 1991 and me in 1972. That is a small world.

With each week we gain experience and efficiency at putting on the event. Josh brought us a token tray today which will be a big help in managing the tokens going forward. Karen and Steve Crane were also able to be with us this morning. It is very reassuring to feel the presence of the parkrun community.

See ya next week!

Good news—we have all volunteer positions filled for this week’s event. A huge thank you to everyone who stepped up to help make Event #2 possible! 🎉

As we look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, please be aware that current air quality conditions may be unhealthy for sensitive groups. If you have asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions, please use your best judgment, take appropriate precautions, and consider whether participating is the right choice for you. Even if you don’t have underlying conditions, you may want to take it a little easier than usual if the air quality is affecting you.

🎉 What an incredible start for Mingo parkrun! 🎉

Yesterday morning we welcomed 34 official finishers and were supported by an amazing team of 11 volunteers who helped make our very first Mingo parkrun a success.

To make the day even more memorable, we were treated to a beautiful mid-event rain shower! 🌦️ Rather than dampening spirits, it seemed to add to the excitement, and it was fantastic to see so much enthusiasm, encouragement, and smiling faces throughout the morning.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to walk, jog, run, cheer, and volunteer. You’ve helped create something truly special, and we can’t wait to see our community continue to grow each week.

📸 Be sure to check out the event photos and relive some of the wonderful moments from our inaugural event!

💙 As we look ahead, we’d love to welcome more volunteers. Volunteering is fun, easy, and a great way to be part of the parkrun community. No experience is needed, and all roles are fully supported. If you’d like to help at a future event, please let us know—we’d love to have you on the volunteer team!
See you next Saturday!
