Parkrun rap takes social media by storm

A "middle class rap" performed by a Parkrun organiser has clocked up more than 25,000 views on Facebook.

Simon Goldsmith, 42, an Elvis Presley impersonator and delivery driver from Kesgrave, Suffolk, said his rap was inspired by a fellow event organiser's 100th run.

Accompanied by Dr Dre's "Still D.R.E.", Mr Goldsmith chose to rap the usual briefing given before each Parkrun event.

"My phone has been crazy. It's amazing what amuses people. I didn't expect this," he said.
