parkrun started back in 2004 when 13 runners got together on a blustery day in Bushy Park, Teddington, UK in 2004. Now it is an international family of over nine million parkrunners (and counting).

The parkrun community is growing all the time – but it’s all still based on the simple, basic principles formed from the start: weekly, free, for everyone, forever.

Whether this is your first step into physical activity, your first time meeting the community, or you are just looking for a place and way to join a Feel Good Movement, you’re always welcome at parkrun.

parkrun Cirencester:

What is Cirencester parkrun?

A free, fun, and friendly weekly 5k community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it’s up to you!

When is it?

Every Saturday at 9:00am.

Where is it?

The event takes place at the Royal Agricultural University, Stroud Road, Cirencester, GL7 6JS. See Course page for more details.

The Course

The course is 5000m (5k) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at the Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester. The course is run entirely on trail paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Course Description

A flat, scenic 3 lap clockwise course around the grounds of the Royal Agricultural University. Starting near the main car park, the route follows a grass path around a field and orchard before running parallel with the Tetbury Road. The route then heads North alongside the main driveway and around the playing fields before returning towards the car park.
