Free weekly timed runs in your local community
Welcome to parkrun on ChangeX! Our goal is that there will be a parkrun in every village, town or city that wants one. We believe it’s everyone’s right to get up on a Saturday and run in a 5km timed event without paying for the pleasure. We're always looking for individuals to come forward and lead the charge to bring a parkrun to their neighborhood. Below you'll find all the information you need to get started!

parkrun is a very simple concept: turn up every Saturday and run 5km, or if you’re a junior then 2km every Sunday. It doesn’t matter how fast you go. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. What matters is taking part.
There are now parkrun events each Saturday and Sunday in countries all around the world. Each event is based in a unique location like a park, beach or prom...
At our parkrun you can bring the kids, the dog, push a buggy, have a chat, look at the scenery, volunteer and simply enjoy what is going on around you. We regularly have participants ranging in age from five to eighty five and everyone takes their own special something from it. There is a unique bond between parkrunners and we have welcomed parkrun tourists from places as far away as New Zealand and Australia and as close to home as Glengarriff and Castlehaven. ### John Walsh, Bere Island parkrun
