Parkrun organise free, weekly, 5km timed runs, walks or jogs around the world. The events are free, safe and it is very easy to join in. The runs in Woking take place every Saturday morning at 9 o’clock in the morning in the pleasant surroundings of Woking Park. People of any ability are encouraged to take part; from those taking their first steps to those running marathons, from juniors to those with more experience; everyone is welcome.

If you are interested in joining the community of runners or even just wish to volunteer, simply sign up for free on the parkrun website. You will be asked for some personal information and then be given your own unique barcode. Print out your barcode and bring it along with you to every parkrun. At the end of the run you will be given a token which you hand in to the volunteers at the scanning area and the time of your run is logged and can then be viewed later in the day on their website. Give it a try, it’s a great way to get fit, meet likeminded people, make friends and be part of the Woking community.

After the event why not try out our free Treasure Trail, ‘Discovery’ and learn more about the beautiful surroundings of Woking Park.
