Running in Somerset

Burnham and Highbridge parkrun

Join us for a weekly timed run, jog, or walk over a measured 5km (3.1 mile) course which starts and finishes in Apex Park. The route takes you around the lake, back on the river path and along the Esplanade, turning around before the jetty, and heading back to the finish. It is free to take part, but to get a time you need to register with parkrun. The event occurs every Saturday morning at 0900hrs. We usually get about 250 people taking part. It is not a race, and people of all abilities take part. Children need to be at least 4 years old, and under 11s need to be accompanied at all times by an adult. We allow pushchairs. You can also take part with one dog on a short lead. There are also opportunities to take on volunteer roles such as marshalling.
