It's a special edition of Ashbourne parkrun and parkwalk, at 9am on the recreation grounds. Start your new year in the great outdoors, get fit, make friends and enjoy the park. [subject to cancellation in awful weather]

Run or walk a 5k (3.2m) course around the Ashbourne rec in company with lots of other runners and walkers.

Your only competition is with yourself! You can sprint, jog, power walk or go as slowly as you like. Some of our walkers do 2 laps rather than the official 3 - that's fine. Our fastest runners do about 17 minutes. Our gentlest strollers do about an hour and 10.

Anyone can take part but if you get a personal parkrun barcode then you will become part of the global parkrun family and your participation will be officially recorded - sign up for free at the parkrun website and choose Ashbourne Recreation Ground as your home location.
