Suffolk Parkruns

Discover Suffolk parkruns during your holiday

If you love combining fresh air, exercise, and community spirit, Suffolk parkruns are the perfect addition to your holiday itinerary. Whether you’re staying in one of our coastal cottages or a countryside retreat, you’ll find a friendly, free 5km run just a short drive away. Suffolk’s parkruns take place in scenic locations, offering you the chance to enjoy the county’s natural beauty while keeping fit.

Coastal parkruns with stunning views

For those staying in our seaside holiday cottages, Suffolk’s coastal parkruns are a real treat. The Felixstowe parkrun offers panoramic sea views along the promenade, while Lowestoft parkrun takes you right to the most easterly point in the UK. These runs are ideal for early risers who want to feel the salty sea breeze and enjoy a revitalising start to the day.

Countryside parkruns in beautiful settings

If you’ve chosen one of our countryside holiday homes, you’ll have easy access to parkruns set in leafy trails and historic parks. Rendlesham Forest parkrun winds through atmospheric woodland, while Bury St Edmunds parkrun offers a peaceful route through Nowton Park’s landscaped grounds. These runs are perfect for nature lovers seeking a calmer, more rural experience.

A friendly welcome for all abilities

Suffolk parkruns are open to everyone, from first-time runners to seasoned athletes. They’re not competitive races, but community events where walkers, joggers, and sprinters are equally celebrated. Staying in one of our Suffolk holiday cottages means you can explore different parkruns during your visit, meeting locals and fellow visitors who share your enthusiasm for the outdoors.
