Weedon Island Preserve 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 in Starbucks, St. Petersburg- please come and join us!

Course Info:

The event starts close to the parking area.

One lap on a mixture of trail, boardwalk, and sidewalk with some short out and back segments surrounded by mangroves. The start and finish area are close to the parking area. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event or anywhere in the Preserve.

The course is 5000m (5k) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at University of West Florida, Rec Plex North Field, Pensacola. The course is run on a mixture of trail paths and grass. 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 (request a reminder). If you forget it, you won't get a time.
