Parkrun / Parkwalk

Chalgrave Sports Club support and promote the local Parkrun at Houghton Hall Park.

The event takes place every single week at 9:00 on a Saturday morning, and CSC usually try and attend once a month (usually on the first Saturday of the month) to meet up and socialise before (from 08:30 onwards) and after the 5k run/walk. See below for upcoming dates when CSC will be attending.

The great thing about the Parkrun/ Parkwalk is that anyone can do it, whether you are an experienced runner, beginner or improving runner, building up to run 5k / ‘Couch to 5K’, a mix of jogging and walking, doing the ‘Mile a Day’ challenge, or even just wanting to walk the distance. You do it your way, at your pace, and nobody judges you.

What is Parkrun?

Parkrun is a collection of 5K (3 mile) community events for walkers, runners and volunteers that take place every Saturday morning at more than 2,000 locations in 22 countries across six continents.

Parkrun is positive, welcoming and inclusive, there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along.
