Sinton-Hewitt started Bushy Parkrun in 2004 whilst unemployed and unable to run due to an injured leg.[4] A "Parkrun" is a free 5 kilometre timed running event that takes place every Saturday morning. Sinton-Hewitt first began Parkrun in Bushy Park in London. Originally called Bushy Park Time Trial with the first event taking place on 2 October 2004, only having 13 runners. Later a two-kilometre "Junior Parkrun" format was added for children aged 4 to 14 (held weekly on Sunday mornings). As of summer 2018 each weekend roughly 220,000 to 280,000 people participate in about 1,500 Parkruns globally.[5] Born in Zimbabwe,[6] he grew up in South Africa. At age five he was made a ward of the state and then lived at boarding schools. He was educated at Potchefstroom High School for Boys and was a crew member supporting Bruce Fordyce in the Comrades Marathon.[7] He moved to the United Kingdom where he was living when he had a breakdown in 1995. He has said that the personal challenges he has experienced, including bullying during childhood, and the way exercise and activity have helped him deal with them, were influential in motivating him in creating parkrun and its inclusive, kind approach to sport.[8] In 2018 he completed the Vitruvian Triathlon.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://blog.strava.com/the-parkrun-story-paul-sinton-hewitt-8943|title=The parkrun Story – Paul Sinton-Hewitt|website=Blog.strava.com|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/405475/BD2014_Honours_List.csv|format=CSV|title=2014 Birthday Honours List|website=Gov.uk|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 3. ^{{citeweb|url=https://www.ashoka.org/en/fellow/paul-sinton-hewitt|title=fellow Paul Sinton-Hewitt|accessdate= 9 September 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://runbundle.com/interviews/paul-sinton-hewitt-parkrun-interview|title=Paul Sinton-Hewitt Interview|website=Runbundle.com|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://wiki.parkrun.com//index.php/Weekly_Totals_History|title=weekly totals history|accessdate= 9 September 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.ashoka.org/en/fellow/paul-sinton-hewitt|title=Paul Sinton-Hewitt|website=Ashoka.org|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://mensrunninguk.co.uk/news/qa-parkrun-founder-paul-sinton-hewitt/|title=Q&A: parkrun Founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt – Men's Running UK|date=27 February 2017|website=Mensrunning.co.uk|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/29/forget-profit-love-fun-innovation-parkrun|title=Forget Profit.
