Frequently asked questions
What is Every Running Place?
A free directory of 2993 permanent UK running venues: running clubs affiliated with England Athletics, parkrun locations, and athletics tracks - compiled from public sources and enriched with Google Places data where a match is found.
Is Every Running Place free to use?
Yes - there's no account, no paywall and no charge to browse, search or use the postcode finder. parkrun itself is also always free to take part in.
How many running clubs are listed?
1436 clubs, all affiliated with England Athletics' Running Network - this directory does not yet cover clubs in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, which are governed by separate national bodies not covered by this data source.
How many parkrun locations are listed?
884 UK parkrun locations, sourced directly from parkrun's own official events feed and event pages - covering England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
How many athletics tracks are listed?
673 UK athletics tracks, of which 387 are recorded as having a synthetic running surface.
What time does parkrun start?
9:00am across most of the UK, or 9:30am at some Scottish events - always check the individual parkrun's own page, since a handful of events vary.
Are there virtual running clubs?
Yes - 70 clubs in this directory are registered as virtual/online clubs rather than clubs with a single physical meeting point.
How is the data kept up to date?
Club, parkrun and track listings are pulled from their respective official public sources - England Athletics' club finder, parkrun's own events feed, and the UK Running Track Directory - and Google ratings/review counts are refreshed periodically.
I found an error - how do I get it corrected?
Errors are usually a change at the source - a club's own details, a parkrun's course, a track's surface - rather than something wrong with this directory itself, since listings are pulled directly from each source's own public data rather than typed in by hand.
