parkrun
parkrun is a free weekly event, and is a global phenomenon with millions of registered participants who are encouraged to walk, jog or run their local event. With over 1000 events in the UK, we're fortunate to have some in MK that highlight how varied and beautiful the city is.
junior parkrun is the 2km event aimed at young people aged 4-14 and takes place across the UK too. The Milton Keynes version is based at MKRUFC in Emerson Valley and occurs on a Sunday morning at 9am.
