Running
Running is a fantastic way to get outside, is great for physical health, and mental well-being. It can also be a great way to explore our parks. As you move around the parks you'll find many have surfaced paths making them easy to run around and great scenery away from any traffic, or you can go off path and find some beautiful trails and bridleways for a more natural experience.
Milton Keynes has a friendly, vibrant, and diverse running community. There are opportunities for young to old, and for all types of runner. Some of the options are listed below, there are clubs you can join, or events to attend. Many of them are free and beginner friendly, especially our Parks and Run events, or the weekly parkruns.
