Bushy parkrun

parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5km run (or walk) held every Saturday at 9am in Bushy Park. It's open to all ages and abilities, whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned runner. You can register online for free and then just turn up on the day to take part.

Bushy parkrun was the very first parkrun in the world, and it's still one of the most popular, with over 1,000 people taking part each week. The course is a two-lap route around the beautiful Bushy Park, with a mixture of flat and undulating terrain. There's also a junior parkrun for children aged 4-14, which takes place at the same time as the adult event.

• You'll be welcomed by a friendly team of volunteers who will help you to register if you haven't already and give you a briefing about the course.
• The run starts at 9am sharp. You can run, jog, or walk the course at your own pace. There's no pressure to finish first.
• Once you've finished, you'll get a free barcode that you can use to check your finishing time online.
• There's a cafe in the park where you can get breakfast or a post-run snack.

• It's a great way to get fit and healthy.
• It's a fun and social event.
• It's free to take part.
• It's suitable for all ages and abilities.
