Have you heard about parkrun?

Growing in popularity on a weekly basis and recently described as the “parkrun phenomenon” parkrun organise free, weekly, 5km timed runs around the world. They are open to everyone, free, and are safe and easy to take part in.

Started with support from The University of Kent Sport department nearly two years ago Canterbury parkrun continues to grow from strength to strength. This welcoming and family friendly event welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities.

If you have decided 2016 is the year to stick to your resolutions and get fit parkrun can help make exercise a habit. Meeting at 9am every Saturday at the Sports Pavilion on Parkwood Road, parkrun gives you an opportunity to start the weekend on a high.
