St Albans parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. It's run in Verulamium Park, St Albans 20% on paths and 80% on grass or woodland trail, and is generally suitable for road trainers but with trail shoes preferable if owned. 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.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

What people say

“This is essentially an out-and-back course with two laps around a former golf course. We’ve visited Verulamium Park before, and it’s a lovely spot. The lake is perfect for a stroll, with views of St Albans Cathedral…”Paul Monaghan · 4 stars
