Community
David Sweeney The Seewoog parkrun course is a real treat for anyone who likes to be in direct contact with nature. The idyllic lakeside start and finish is complemented by a midsection trail run through the forest, which offers a varied terrain.
Following each weekly parkrun, all participants are invited to spend some time together over a post-parkrun-coffee at the Seewoog kiosk.
“The social aspect of parkrun is as important as the physical activity itself,” emphasizes Ilic. She adds “We want to help make it easy for the Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC) to mix with locals and meet new people. We are particularly pleased to create a special opportunity for community building and getting to know each other through parkrun. ”
