Ed Austin Regional Parkrun

A free, fun, and friendly weekly 5k community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it's up to you!

We all take part for our own enjoyment. Please come along and join in whatever your pace!

Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee at Starbucks - please come and join us!

Course Info:

The event starts in the NW portion of the park between the Disc Golf building and PAL building.

Two out-and-back branches with turnarounds on mixed asphalt and concrete paths, the shorter branch will be run twice, using the same turnaround. The course starts and finishes in NW portion of park between the Disc Golf building and PAL building.

The course is 5000m (5k) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at Ed Austin Regional Park, Jacksonville. The course is run entirely on permanent paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

Age Grading:

All parkrun events use Age Grading to help parkrunners compare results.

Age Grading takes your time and uses the world record time for your sex and age group to produce a score (a percentage). This score allows you to compare your personal performance against other people's performances even though they might be a different age and a different sex to you - the higher the score the better the performance. The scores can also be compared across different race distances - to allow you to, for example, compare a 5km time against a marathon.

Cost:

Nothing - it's free! but please register before you first come along. Only ever register with parkrun once and don't forget to bring a scannable copy of your barcode
