How do you describe Parkrun?

I'm the same as anyone who is passionate about parkrun, If you go near any of the following topics:

- You want to start running?
- You ask what are I'm doing at the weekend?
- how's my running going?
- You've signed up for the Race for Life?
- You've signed up for a 10k run?
- You want to get fitter?
- Hello Geoff?

I'll be off, and you'll struggle to stop me talking about parkrun.

The most difficult thing though is how to describe parkrun.

I usually start with "It's a weekly run" and from there I try to remember to cover the following topics

- It's free
- It's fun (People doubt you)
- It's not about winning, it's about achieving your own goals
- It's a way to meet people, many will be like minded
- it's not a race, the only person you're competing with is yourself
- it's terribly addictive
- There's probably a parkrun somewhere near you

Is that all fair? Is there anything you'd add? how do you describe parkrun?
