What is Parkrun?
Parkrun is a community event that brings people together to enjoy the outdoors and get active. It's a great way to get your daily dose of exercise, meet new people, and make friends. Parkruns are run entirely by volunteers, and they're always free to attend.
How do I take part in Parkrun?
To take part in Parkrun, all you need to do is register online and bring your printed barcode with you to the event. You can register at the Parkrun website: https://www.parkrun.org.nz/
When you arrive at the Parkrun, you'll need to check in with the volunteers and give them your barcode. You'll then be given a wristband with your race number on it. Once the Parkrun starts, you'll set off on the 5km course. You can run, jog, or walk, and you can take as long as you need to complete the course.
What are the different types of Parkruns?
There are different types of Parkruns to suit different people and abilities. Here are some of the most common types of Parkruns:
- 5km Parkrun: This is the most common type of Parkrun. It's a 5km run or walk that takes place on a Saturday morning.
- Junior Parkrun: Junior Parkruns are for children aged 4-14. They're 2km runs or walks that take place on a Sunday morning.
- Parkrun trail: Parkrun trails are held in parks and open spaces that are not suitable for a traditional 5km Parkrun course. They may be longer or shorter than 5km, and they may involve running on trails, hills, or other challenging terrain.
- Freedom Parkrun: Freedom Parkruns are for people who are unable to attend a traditional Parkrun due to disability or other barriers. Freedom Parkruns can be held at any time and in any location, and they can be tailored to the needs of the participants.
What are the benefits of Parkrun?
There are many benefits to taking part in Parkrun, including:
- Improved fitness: Parkrun is a great way to get regular exercise. Running or walking 5km every week can help to improve your cardiovascular health, increase your strength and endurance, and reduce your risk of chronic diseases.
- Increased well-being: Parkrun is a social event that can help to improve your mental health and well-being. It's a great way to meet new people, make friends, and get involved in your community.
- Reduced stress: Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and improve your mood. Parkrun is a fun and social way to get your daily dose of exercise, and it can help to reduce your stress levels and improve your overall well-being.
- Free and accessible: Parkrun is free to attend, and it's open to people of all ages and abilities. It's a great way to get active and improve your health and well-being without having to spend any money.
How can I get involved in Parkrun?

Once you've registered, you can start attending Parkruns whenever you like. You don't need to be a member of a running club or have any special equipment. Just turn up at the Parkrun at the start time, and you're ready to go.
Tips for making the most of your Parkrun experience
Here are a few tips for making the most of your Parkrun experience:
- Arrive early: It's a good idea to arrive at the Parkrun early so that you have plenty of time to warm up and check in with the volunteers.
- Bring your barcode: You need to bring your printed barcode with you to every Parkrun. If you don't have your barcode, you won't be able to get a time.
- Wear appropriate clothing: Dress for the weather and wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you can run or walk in.
- Be respectful of other runners and walkers: Parkrun is a community event, so be respectful of other runners and walkers. Don't push or shove, and give people plenty of space.
- Have fun: Parkrun is a fun and social event, so make sure you enjoy yourself. Chat to other runners and walkers, and take in the atmosphere.
