Chippenham Parkrun
25 February 2023 @ 9:00 am
An event every week that begins at 9:00 am on Saturday, repeating until 25 March 2023
Parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. The course is 5k and takes place every Saturday morning in Monkton Park at 9am. Junior parkrun is 2k, dedicated to 4-14 year olds and their families, every Sunday morning.
Walking or running is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help you build stamina, burn excess calories and make your heart healthier. Spending time in nature can reduce anxiety and improve your mood while physical activity is known to reduce your risk of diabetes, depression, dementia and cardiovascular diseases.
Why not give Parkrun a try – the course goes through Monkton Park and follows the river on a mixture of trail paths, tarmac paths and gravel paths. Parkrun is positive, welcoming and inclusive, there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome and refreshments are available afterwards at The Tenth Hole Tea Room at Monkton Park Golf Course.
