Parkrun Practices

parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or simply spectate. Every Saturday morning, parkrun hosts a 5k event open to everyone. On Sundays, junior parkrun offers a 2k event dedicated to 4-14 year olds and their families.

parkrun provides patients access to a low cost, community led physical activity opportunity and can be a great way of introducing patients back into physical activity, as well as encouraging participation in an activity to increase health, manage long-term conditions and improve wellbeing. 

• Contact your local parkrun and have a chat with the volunteer team
