A new parkrun event has made its home in Pavilion Gardens Buxton!

Pavilion Gardens parkrun is a free, fun and friendly weekly 5k community event and replaces the monthly Pavilion Gardens 5k. You can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it’s up to you! parkrun is a positive, welcoming and inclusive experience where there is no time limit and no one finishes last.

The event takes place every Saturday at 9am at The Pavilion Gardens, St John’s Road, Buxton SK17 6BE. Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee at Pavilion Gardens Café – please come and join us!

If you or someone you know would like to be involved in a volunteer role, please get in touch with paviliongardens@parkrun.com and put ‘Volunteer’ as the subject of your email.

If you’d like to run, jog or walk the event, then simply turn up with your parkrun barcode just before 9am at the park entrance nearest The Argyle and look out for our friendly volunteers in hi vis. Haven’t got a parkrun barcode? Getting one couldn’t be easier. Just head to https://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/  and register with parkrun where you will be given a barcode which you can download and print or view on your phone.

Supporting clubs

Clubs are very welcome to use parkruns to recruit new members – currently around 10% of parkrunners are attached to running clubs.

parkrun encourages and publicises local clubs at parkrun events through links on the parkrun event website and in other ways. In our experience, the presence of a parkrun generates increased club membership in your local area.

Please contact paviliongardens@parkrun.com to discuss.

Supporting local races

Organisers are welcome to publicise their races via our website and through publicity at events if local regulations allow and the event director is happy for them to do so.

Experience shows that events attract more participants when promoted at local parkruns.
