parkrun leeds is an initiative aimed at increasing the opportunity to both participate and volunteer in physical activity.

parkrun leeds is a FREE weekly event held every Saturday at 9am in Hyde Park in North West Leeds, implemented by the University of Leeds Sport & Physical Activity service and supported by the Sport & Exercise Science department. University of Leeds has taken an active role in establishing the event as a means for our students, staff and our local community to come together on a regular basis to enjoy a shared community space and get physically active.

We want to encourage people to walk, jog or run together irrespective of ability, having open access to this opportunity at no cost and encourage a diverse range of people, young and old to get involved.
