Parkrun with Joe Wicks

26 July 2026

Some of our Olney Runners met up with Joe Wicks, The Body Coach, at Ferry Meadows parkrun, Peterborough, on Saturday 25 July, both en route and at the end of the run.

With a fantastic 1200 runners taking part in the parkrun, Joe made time for selfies and to chat with everyone; he’s on a UK parkrun tour across the country this summer. A big thank you to Ferry Meadows for hosting everyone :)

Joe says, “I’m a massive fan of parkrun. Whenever I take part I always leave with a huge smile on my face. It’s one of the best things out there that truly celebrates the joy of movement and community.

I love what parkrun is all about. It gets people of all ages and abilities moving, brings communities together, and makes fitness feel inclusive and fun. No pressure. No judgement. No expectations. You don’t need fancy kit or loads of experience. You just need to turn up.”
