why parkrun?
parkrun brings numerous and substantial benefits to the local community including an increase in health and exercise participation, community and social cohesion, as well as tourism opportunities!
parkrun (always one word, always lowercase) organizes free, weekly, 5km runs around the world to 150,000+ runners globally, with 3 million+ runners in their database! They’ve been doing this for 13 years worldwide and have the figures and statistics to support the many benefits and popularity of the runs.

The format of parkrun is simple: register once, print your barcode, then turn up and take part* wherever you want, whenever you want.
” It doesn’t matter how fast you go. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. What matters is taking part. “
* The Waypoint in no way benefits from parkrun, or is connected to parkrun in any way other than having a number of employees who are passionate about parkrun’s cause and see it take off in their community.
