Yorkshire Parkrun Guide (2026)

Here in Yorkshire, parkrun has become a huge part of the lives of many thousands of runners and walkers every Saturday morning. Enclosed below is a comprehensive list of as many of the parkrun's that I can find here in gods own county, as well as much information that may be of use to you. This includes best footwear and more. You do not want to be bringing out your new and latest expensive marathon or racing shoes, when you find that it is all trail and they will have little or no effect. From a racing greyhound, you will become like Bambi on ice!

Some of these I myself have completed, but I am a creature of habit and tend to stay with one which I love and have run over 100 times. If any of the information below is incorrect, then please do advise and we will then get corrected as soon as possible. I have added what 3 words to as many as I can and that I hope will help you locate the site/s better and cut down on spending time searching places and missing the start.

However, I would always encourage you to register and take part if you are able. You do not have to run, you can and walk as well. Everyone is welcome and as always, it is free to take part.

Always keep an idea on their web or Facebook sites to check and see if the individual parkrun is on or not. All parkrun's can be cancelled at very short notice due to weather or unforeseen circumstances - so please do check before travelling. Have a wonderful time and please do not forget to thank those who are volunteering.
