Parkrun

Parkrun is such a simple concept: turn up every Saturday and run 5km or if you’re a junior then 2km every Sunday.  It doesn’t matter how fast you go.  It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing.  What matters is taking part.

There are now parkrun events each Saturday and Sunday in countries all around the world.  Each event is based in a unique location like a park, beach or promenade.  All events are organised by a group of our wonderful dedicated volunteers.

parkrun is all about inclusiveness and wellbeing.  We want as many people as possible to feel part of a real local community brought together by our events, as well as our global parkrun family.

It’s why parkruns are never more than 5km – it’s a distance that anyone can complete at any speed. Running is fine, walking if fine!

And it’s why we’ve kept the format of parkrun so simple: register once, then turn up and take part wherever you want, whenever you want.

What is  parkrun?

  • It is a 5km run – it’s you against the clock.

How fast do I have to be?

  • We all run for our own enjoyment. Please come along and join in whatever your pace!

Swindon parkruns needs you!

Where is it?

Swindon is lucky enough to have two park run events.

  • Lydiard Park.
  • Seven Fields Nature Reserve, Nr. Hillary Close, Swindon, (closest post code SN25 3AQ)

Please note, that parking charges apply in Lydiard Park. Please see the parking signage for charges and ways to pay.

When is it?

  • Every Saturday at 9:00am (at both locations).

What does it cost to join in?

Allstars do parkrun!

Allstars regularly run at both Lydiard Park and Seven Fields parkrun. We also do regular takeovers where we fill as many of the pacing slots and marshal duties as possible. The river of red shirts at 9:00 on a Saturday is a great site amongst our friends from the local running community.

We also tour parkruns throughout the UK and around the world with planned events every month.
