Yep… 3 parkruns in 7 days. Because who needs sleep when you’ve got 5k, fresh air, and questionable life choices?
While the brilliant Swanley Park team put their feet up on Christmas Day (they’ve earned it — legends), we’ll be back in full swing on New Year’s Day to blast 2026 into action the only way we know how… with smiles, cheers, tutus if you’re brave, and a very enthusiastic Run Director who may or may not still smell faintly of prosecco.
📍 Swanley Park
🗓 Thursday 1st January 2026
⏰ Pre-run briefing 8:45am • Start 9:00am sharp
👟 Walk it, jog it, run it, crawl it – we don’t judge.
🦺 Volunteers needed! Kick off the year with the gift of giving. Grab your favourite role before someone else does.
Expect:
✨ Fresh-start vibes
✨ Dubious New Year’s resolutions being made mid-lap
✨ Runners pretending they’re not hungover
✨ Our usual warm welcome, loud cheers, and community spirit
Hit GOING so we can pretend we’re organised.
Tag a mate to drag along — misery loves company, but so does parkrun. 💚
Let’s start 2026 the Swanley way.
See you on the start line! 🎆🏃♀️🏃♂️
