We have tried to make parkrun as easy as possible to take part in and anybody and everybody, of all ages and running abilities are welcome at our runs. You can run, jog or walk the course.
To register with us please head to parkrun.com/countries and select your country. Then click register from the top right menu and fill in the form. Finally await your confirmation email containing your barcode, print it out and remember to bring it with you when you run.
Once registered, you remain registered for life. You can turn up at any parkrun anywhere in the world without having to re-register.
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, do remember to check out our policy on registering others.
There are no deadlines, you can register at any time, but please make sure you have registered with enough time to receive the confirmation email and to print off your personal barcode.
Please do not
- register twice.
- register separately when running with a buggy or pushchair.
- register your dog or any other animal, only humans can register. We will remove these results and delete the account.
Please don't get in touch with us to register, you need to register using the online form.
How old do you need to be to register?
Children must be aged 4 and over to register and obtain their own barcode. In order to record a time they must complete the course entirely on their own two feet.
We ask that children under 11 are accompanied within arm’s reach throughout the run by a parent or guardian at our 5k series.
In the UK and Ireland the junior parkrun series is designed specifically for children aged between 4 and 14, and junior parkrunners can run unaccompanied at these 2k events. You can read more about junior parkrun here.
Why do you need the information you ask for?
Please see our Privacy Policy outlining why we ask for specific information on the registration form.
What happens once I have registered?
Shortly after you have pressed the submit button on the form you will be emailed a confirmation that we have received it. Please read this email carefully, it contains further instructions and a link to your barcode.
You don't need to do anything more, just turn up at a parkrun with your printed barcode and run.
