Everyone is welcome at our events, and those aged 4 and above can register to record their participation.
Registration is simple and takes just a couple of minutes to complete. To register with us:
- Head to parkrun.com and select your country
- Click register from the top right menu and fill in the form
- Look out for the confirmation email containing your barcode.
- Print or download it and remember to bring a scannable barcode with you when you participate.
There is no deadline, you can register at any time, but please make sure you have registered with enough time to receive the confirmation email and print/download your personal barcode.
Once registered, you remain registered for life. You can turn up at any parkrun anywhere in the world without having to register again.
All participants should register themselves, unless they are too young to do so, are unable to use a computer, or do not have access to one. If you're registering for someone else, please read the information below (1.1.1).
Please do not:
- register more than once. We will not be able to transfer results and volunteering instances between multiple profiles
- register separately when taking part with a buggy/pushchair
- register your dog or any other animal, only humans can register. We will remove these results and delete the account
- register under a false name
Please don't get in touch with us to register, you need to register using the online form.
1.1.1 Registering on behalf of others
We understand that there are occasions when it is necessary to register on behalf of somebody else. For example, you may be the parent/guardian of one of our younger participants, or you may be registering on behalf of somebody who is unable to access the online form.
In these cases, we thank you for registering them, and ask you to bear in mind these points:
- Please ask them to confirm that they are not already registered
- Make sure you know their full name and their correct date of birth
- If they have their own email address please use this for registration (you may enter yours if they do not have one)
- Please let them know once they have been registered with us (we get many participants puzzled to find they have already been registered)
Why does it matter?
- We ask all participants to read and accept our terms and conditions. When they are registered by someone else they are unable to do this
- When participants are registered by other people the information we ask for is often incorrect, and requires an administrative effort to resolve this
- If someone has registered multiple times we will not transfer results and/or volunteering instances between multiple profiles
If you are a club or school coach, or are organising a charity run/walk at one of our events, we would ask you to encourage all of your participants to register themselves. Please do not register on their behalf.
