Sunderland Park Run

Sunderland Park Run is a FREE weekly 5km event for runners of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 9am in Silksworth Sports Complex.

It is not a race against other runners, but a 5km timed run and it can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan.

It offers an opportunity for all the local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to get physically active. We want to encourage people to jog or run together irrespective of their ability - this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE!

Taking part is easy - just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun at http://www.parkrun.org.uk/Register/UK.aspx . The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there!

So. whether you are a complete novice looking to get yourself started on your own 'running journey' or a seasoned athlete wanting to use this as a part of your training schedule, you're welcome to come along and join us.
