Every Saturday at 9.00am
A free, fun, and friendly weekly 5k community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it’s up to you!
Keswick Park Run is a very popular event, and the atmosphere is contagious! Its open to all, from those who are regular park-runners to those who have just started.
An out and back course on Keswick Railway Path is around 5000m long (5K). It begins from the bollards just after the old station to a turn-around at the iron bridge. The whole course is tarmac, quite flat for Keswick (!) and has great views of the river and the surrounding fells all the way. The last half mile should be really fast.
Road running shoes are best suited. Please be mindful that the pathway can get muddy and little bit slippy on wet days (something the Lake District has quite often) so take your time on these sections. There are however, plenty of marshals around if you need any assistance!
There is no better feeling than heading for a morning run and then treating yourself to a well deserved coffee and pastry, and Keswick has plenty of cafes for you to do just that!
