Hull Parkrun — East Park 5k
Join hundreds of local runners, joggers, walkers, and spectators for Hull's free weekly 5k community event in the picturesque surroundings of East Park.
The route takes in two and a half scenic laps around the historic park's boating lake, tree-lined avenues, and heritage gardens on smooth tarmac pathways. Welcoming to participants of all paces — from complete beginners and parents with buggies to seasoned club athletes.
