Alvaston parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Alvaston Park, Derby. The course is run entirely on tarmac paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

“Great free 5km running/walking event on a Saturday morning. The staff team of volunteers that run this are so friendly and welcoming to everyone. It's not the biggest event, but well organised and very good in the…”Jody Bunting · 5 stars

“Friendly and fast parkrun. All on tarmac, so ideal throughout winter. The official car park is only a 5 minute walk from the start, and there's always plenty of room.”Craig Harrison · 5 stars
