Saturday 1 November

Every Saturday you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate at a 5k course around the park.

For more details see the Wollaton Hall parkrun website.

The run is organised by volunteers so, if running is not your thing, you could get involved with one of the many simple tasks that make each event work.

Check the parkrun news page for occasional cancellations.

 

The lowercase 'p' on parkrun looks odd to us too - please see the parkrun website where they state "parkrun should always be one word, all lowercase."
