Central Park Parkrun UK

Central Park Parkrun in Plymouth is a free, community-led 5 km run (or walk/jog) held every Saturday at 9 AM at Central Park, Milehouse (PL3 4HQ) . The well‑marked course begins and ends near the iconic clock tower, taking runners along tarmac paths that loop around the park—through scenic open greenspaces, beside sports facilities, past the stunning Pounds House, and circling back over gentle hills and descents .

It’s open to all abilities—whether you’re chasing a PB or out for a social stroll. Expect a friendly mix of tourists, local runners, families, buggy‑pushers, veterans and juniors. After the run, many grab a coffee at the Meadow Café, where you can get 15p off a hot drink by showing your barcode . Week after week, 260–400 participants turn up, cheered on by enthusiastic volunteers who marshal key points and handle timing—all adding to the upbeat, welcoming atmosphere .

In summary: a flat‑to‑undulating park course, tarmac underfoot, clock‑tower start/finish, family‑friendly vibes, and full café banter. A lovely way to kick off your weekend!
