From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

S95

[edit]

S95 is a weekly community running event inspired by the concept of parkrun. It involves participants running, jogging, or walking a distance of 5 kilometers every Saturday morning at 9:00 AM.[1]

Concept and Origin

[edit]

S95 was established to create a regular, inclusive event that promotes physical activity and social interaction. Borrowing the structure of parkrun, S95 emphasizes simplicity, accessibility, and community spirit. The name "S95" reflects the core principles of the event: S for "Saturday," 9 for the starting time (9:00 AM), and 5 for the 5-kilometer distance.[2]

The event was initially organized as a way to encourage people to stay active, enjoy their local surroundings, and connect with others in a relaxed setting. Its focus on post-run socializing distinguishes it from similar initiatives, making the communal tea or café visit a hallmark of S95 culture.

Format

[edit]

S95 events are free to attend and open to people of all ages and fitness levels. Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace, whether they choose to run, jog, or walk the course.[2]

  • Start Time: 9:00 AM every Saturday.
  • Distance: 5 kilometers.
  • Post-Run Gathering: After completing the run, participants typically enjoy tea together, either at the event venue or by visiting a nearby café.[3]

There may be also shortened distance races for children.[4]

There may also be so-called “special” runs, timed to coincide with certain events: a New Year’s run, a plogging run, etc.[5]

Results are recorded and published on the event’s website, allowing participants to track their performance and monitor progress over time.[6]

Community and Volunteers

[edit]

Like its inspiration, parkrun, S95 relies heavily on volunteers. These individuals help organize the event, ensure the safety of participants, and facilitate the social aspects. The post-run tea or café visits are often coordinated by volunteers, further contributing to the friendly atmosphere.[7]

Global Reach

[edit]

S95 began in Russia and has since spread to Belarus and Serbia. The initiative welcomes any team in any country to join, provided they are ready to hold the event every Saturday throughout the year on a safe, comfortable route and share a strong desire to make everyone healthier and happier.[1]

Impact

[edit]

S95 has been praised for its dual focus on physical activity and social well-being. The tradition of gathering for tea or coffee has become a cherished part of the event, reinforcing its role as a social hub.[8]
