The Importance of Finishing Time

We need to move away from Pace as the sole marker of success. Park Run is not a race but a run and has no time limit for its 5 kilometre distance. The average finish time in 2005 was 22 minutes 17 seconds, whereas, in 2023, it is 32 minutes 34 seconds. We're getting better at giving more people the opportunity and space to walk or run at whatever pace they feel comfortable. Ultimately, it's about movement. There are incredible health benefits from running at any pace and from walking.
