Southwark parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is in Southwark Park, SE16, London. The course is run on a mixture of concrete paths and grass. 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.

What people say

“Fantastically flat parkrun course in Southwark park (strava elevation recorded 2m!). 3 and a bit laps, starting on the grass then all on concrete path around the park - great for getting a PB! The finish line is near…”YoYo · 5 stars

“An absolutely amazing parkrun experience. I've been a tourist at a few parkruns. The volunteers were really friendly (and no offence but London people aren't known for that). Got chatting to a few. The new starters…”Mike Rouse-Deane · 5 stars
