5k your way / Parkrun - good for socialising while getting some exercise?

Has anyone gone to Parkrun or the 5k your way 5kyourway.org/ / Parkrun meetups? (I’ve also asked on the Macmillan forums, as I’m not sure where people might see my question).

I’m not exactly a ‘bright and sparky at 9am on a Saturday’ person but I’m trying to run 5km regularly anyway, and I love the idea of meeting others in a similar situation. I’m happy meeting people at outside events, and I know that Parkruns aren’t competitive so it doesn’t matter if you’re running or walking, so they seem kinda perfect.

I’m quite out of practice at socialising, but I guess that doesn’t matter?
