Is my parkrun on today? Full list of locations staging Christmas Day parkrun 5k - The Mirror

Christmas Day parkrun will be held at locations throughout the UK on Thursday

The 21-year history of the parkrun will continue this Christmas. It was in October 2004 when the tradition began under founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt as he organised the meeting up of 13 keen parkrunners in Bushy park, Teddington.

It was two months later that the parkrun, which is free, was hosted on Christmas Day for the first time. Over two decades later, it's become an institution across the UK and the world in countries like Poland, Australia and South Africa.

The 5k run is usually held every Saturday morning at 9am with bonus events sometimes added to the parkrun calendar on Christmas Day which this year falls on Thursday. The tradition now spans 23 countries with over 10million people having participated.

In the UK, almost 1,400 different locations have hosted parkruns as Sinton-Hewitt recently opened up about his goal to make parkrun continue to bring communities closer together. He said last year: "Looking to the future, we hope parkrun will continue to contribute to national and global health.

"The dream is that we continue to expand in more countries, in every city, town, village across the globe – where they need us the most. We’re filled with pride at what parkrun has achieved and we’re so excited about what lies ahead."
