Parkrun booster — configuration and troubleshooting

Enrich your running activity with parkrun event results data.

📅 8 February 2026

Overview

The Parkrun booster enriches your running activity with data from your parkrun results — including finishing position, age grade, PB status, and event details. It matches your Saturday morning run to the parkrun results page and adds the race-specific stats to your activity description.

Configuration

Event Name (event_name)

Your home parkrun event name (e.g., "Colwick"). This is used to look up your results.

Athlete ID (athlete_id)

Your parkrun athlete ID (the number on your barcode). Used to find your specific result from the event.

Data Requirements

  • Parkrun connection — See Connecting Parkrun.
  • The activity must have occurred on a Saturday morning (the standard parkrun time).
  • Results are typically available 1–2 hours after the event.

Common Issues

No results found — Results aren't published for 1–2 hours after the event. Wait and re-post the activity. Also check that your athlete ID is correct.

Results from wrong event — If you ran at a different location, update the event_name configuration or check that the booster supports event detection.

PB not showing — The PB flag comes from the parkrun website. If parkrun hasn't marked it as a PB, FitGlue can't either.
