Parkrun is an open and free sports event. You will run or walk a 5km loop, and will get a time for your performance, if you register.
In parkrun, you get to experience the excitement of a running event, while still running at your pace and not being rushed. Some of our participants walk the route in an hour, while others run in less than 20 minutes. Some use a wheel chair, and others have assistants with them. For some it’s a leisurely Saturday walk. For some it’s a recovery walk and for others part of training. There is no age limit and kids to more experienced runners are all welcome. The oldest participant in Finland was an over 80 year old veteran in a wheel chair. Everyone is cheered to the goal, and the competition is against yourself. If you come weekly, you get to see your improvement and each time get some energy for your week end.
The route starts at Mattilanniemi beach and we do three loops, clockwise, around the tip of the lake, by turning at the Ylistö bridge.
Come alone, with a friend or even in a group! All are welcome! We also have volunteering roles, where you or a friend can come on a week when you do not want to run.
After the run, many gather for coffee at Cafe Piato, in the Agora building, or at the ice cream stand next to the start line. Everyone is welcome to join!
