Parkrun Practice

We have become a parkrun practice in partnership with Stewart Parkrun.

Taking regular exercise improves both physical and mental health, and in support of this we have formed a partnership with our local parkrun.

A free timed 5km run or walk at 9am every Saturday (our nearest is Stewart park).
Anyone who can walk or run 5km.

Children are welcome (must walk/ run with an adult).

There is also a 9am Sunday 2km junior parkrun at Hemlington Lake for 4-14 year olds.

Why should I do a parkrun?

  • You may want to improve your fitness, lose weight and strengthen muscles.
  • You may be struggling with depression, anxiety or low self-esteem – parkrun can help.
  • After having a baby it can be tricky to regain your pre pregnancy strength, no babysitting required – run with a buggy. Parkrun may help with postnatal depression.
  • You may feel lonely – why not come and meet new people or volunteer.
  • You may have always wanted to run a marathon, 10k or half marathon but don’t feel you ever could. Make a start on that journey with parkrun.
  • You may have a chronic condition that can be improved with exercise such as diabetes.

Whatever the reason – why not give it a go. It’s free and it works.
