Connecting Parkrun — setup and troubleshooting

How to connect your parkrun profile to FitGlue.

📅 8 February 2026

Overview

Parkrun connects to FitGlue using your public parkrun athlete ID. No OAuth or API key needed — just the number printed on your parkrun barcode. FitGlue uses this ID to look up your results from the parkrun website.

Authentication Type

Public ID — Your parkrun athlete number.

Setup

  1. Find your athlete ID — It's the number on your parkrun barcode (e.g., A1234567). You can also find it at parkrun.org.uk → your profile.
  2. Connect in FitGlue — Dashboard → Connections → Parkrun → Enter your athlete ID.
  3. Verify — Wait until your next parkrun event and check that results are imported.

Common Issues

Wrong results — Double-check your athlete ID number. An incorrect ID will pull someone else's results.

"No results found" — Results take 1–2 hours to be published after the event. FitGlue can't find results that haven't been processed by parkrun yet.

Visiting a different parkrun — FitGlue searches all events for your athlete ID, so tourist parkruns should still be found.
