As a new parkrunner, I need to understand the basics before my first event. Can you explain the registration process, what I must bring, if walking is permitted, and clarify what '(not)parkrun' means, based on information from the parkrun USA website?
Navigate to 'parkrun.com' Go to the 'Registration frequently asked questions' page. Identify that registration is free, a one-time process, and that walking is an accepted form of participation. Locate information stating the requirement to bring a scannable barcode to an event. Navigate to the 'blog' section of the website. Use the search functionality on the blog to find and understand the definition of '(not)parkrun'. Synthesize all gathered information to answer the questions.
State that parkrun registration is free and a one-time process. Explain that participants need to bring a scannable version of their barcode to an event. Confirm that walking is a valid and accepted form of participation. Describe '(not)parkrun' as a separate, virtual activity where participants can log 5k walks, jogs, or runs outside of official parkrun events.
