On your mark, get set, go! parkrun takes off from Drage Reserve

The global fitness phenomenon that is parkrun, has launched a new free, friendly and welcoming community event at Drage Reserve in Felixstow.

Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate — there’s a way for everyone to participate and enjoy the great outdoors.

Held every Saturday at 8am, parkrun offers a 5km timed run, jog or walk to help you improve or maintain your fitness in a social and inclusive setting.

What is Drage Reserve parkrun?

Like other parkrun events, Drage Reserve parkrun is a weekly community event where people from all walks of life gather to walk, jog or run in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, enjoy a leisurely walk with family or friends, or simply be a part of the local community, parkrun is for you!

Time: Every Saturday at 8am 

Location: Drage Reserve, Riverside Drive, Felixstow

The event takes place at the scenic Drage Reserve, offering participants a beautiful backdrop as they tackle the 5km course. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or just enjoying the company of fellow parkrunners, this event is the perfect way to start your weekend.

Drage Reserve parkrun is completely free and you only need to register once before your first event. You’ll be issued with a personalised barcode that you will need to bring each time you participate to ensure you can track your time. Times are then published on the parkrun website.

Please note: If your barcode isn’t scannable or your forget to bring it with you, your time won’t be recorded.

At your pace

The best part about parkrun is that ‘there's no pressure’ and participants of all fitness levels are welcome. Whether you’re aiming to complete the course in record time or simply enjoy a relaxed walk and chat, the emphasis is on fun and community.

Why not round up friends and family and see what Drage Reserve parkrun has to offer. If a free, fun, community event isn’t enough then there’s plenty of coffee shops a stone’s throw away — you would have earned a hearty breakfast for sure!

The team at parkrun look forward to welcoming you this Saturday at 8am!
