Highfields parkrun is a free, timed, 5km run/walk put on for the community at 7am every Saturday morning at Highfields Sport and Recreational Park
parkrun is not a race against other runners, but a 5km timed run, jog or walk. It can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan. Highfields parkrun offers an opportunity for all members of our local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy our beautiful surroundings and get physically active in the process. We want to encourage people to walk, jog or run together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE! Taking part is easy – just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun event. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there! Our Team:

🎉 22 YEARS OF parkrun! 🎉
This Saturday, we’re celebrating 22 amazing years of parkrun! 🥳🏃♀️🏃♂️
It all began on Saturday 2 October 2004, when just 13 runners and 5 volunteers gathered at Bushy Park in Teddington, London, for a free, timed 5km event — then known as the Bushy Park Time Trial.
Fast forward 22 years and parkrun has grown into a worldwide community, creating countless memories, friendships, milestones and Saturday morning traditions. ❤️
So, Highfields, let’s celebrate in style! 🎉
Come wearing your TUTU!
Whether it’s your first parkrun, your 500th, you’re running, jogging, walking or volunteering — come along and be part of the celebration!
📍 Highfields Sport & Recreation Park
⏰ Briefing 6:50am | Start 7:00am
🆓 Free, timed 5km — everyone welcome!
Bring your tutu, bring your friends and bring your parkrun smile!
See you Saturday!
We are looking for a timekeeper, a barcode scanner and a marshal for Saturday. Please comment below if you can help out

TU TU TOGETHER this weekend.
No, it isn't the 22nd of the month, it is however International Parkrun's 22nd Anniversary, well worth celebration with a Global Tutu Day.

🏃♀️🏃♂️ PACER WEEK IS TOMORROW AT HIGHFIELDS PARKRUN! 🎉
We’d love to get a few more pacers on board to help everyone chase a goal, find their pace or maybe even achieve a new PB! 🙌
👉 You don’t have to be a speedy runner to be a pacer!
We’d love pacers across a range of times — and we can even have walk/jog pacers for those who prefer a more relaxed pace. 💪
Whether you’re aiming for a PB, trying to run a little more consistently, or just want to help someone else achieve their goal, we’d love you to put your hand up! ❤️
If you can pace a 25, 30, 35, 40, 55 minute (or any other) time, let us know in the comments or send us a message.
⏱️ You choose the pace — we’ll provide the encouragement!
Come along, have some fun and help your fellow parkrunners reach their goals. 🥳
Who’s keen to be a pacer? 🙋♀️🙋♂️
