Newcastle parkrunners, please complete!

As you may know I am currently working towards a masters (MSc) degree in Applied Positive Psychology. As part of the course we are each asked to undertake a meaningful piece of research which will be ready to submit for publication by an academic journal.

My main research interests lie within physical activity, and how exercise can improve mental health. Couple with this my passion for parkrun, and this is how I arrived at my research topic for my thesis.

I am running a survey which looks to understand the impact that parkrun might have upon individual and societal functioning, and I am administering this survey online.

If you are a registered Newcastle parkrunner, then please do click the link below and complete the survey.


I am looking to get all registered Newcastle parkrunners to respond - regardless of how many times you have ran or volunteered at parkrun. Even if you have never attended a Newcastle parkrun, but are registered with Newcastle as your home run, I would still love your responses to the survey.

I have already had 90 responses, within just a few days which really is amazing, and a great data set to work with. However, ambitious as always, I would love to think that all 3000 (ish) members of Newcastle parkrun might be able to complete the survey in order to allow for some really robust results.

The survey is completely anonymous and takes 3 minutes to complete, so please click the link above and participate in the study.

Thank you to all that have completed and are about to complete the survey, your response is very much appreciated!
