Heslington Parkrun

Every Saturday from 9:00am

Heslington Parkrun

Park run is a weekly timed run for all abilities every Saturday from 9:00am. Heslington parkrun is based at York Sport Village, running around our Cycle Circuit and continuing though Heslington East Campus. Whether you are new to running or an experienced runner, the timed 5km route is accessible to all people.

With a tarmac and paved surface throughout the route (and York’s famously flat roads!) the Heslington 5k is an ideal route for those just starting out, or those trying to achieve their personal best. In addition, we also have changing facilities, lockers and a café on site to warm up and fuel up once you have completed your run!

*Please note, under 11s MUST run with an adult at ALL times.

Register here to participate in the parkrun and receive recorded times. 

Catering Facilities

York Sport Café opens from 8:30 – 15:00 and serves Costa Coffee, snacks and soft drinks.
