How far do you travel for Parkrun?

My nearest is about a 20 min drive away, then there are a couple of others that are a 30-40 min drive away. I live in a beautiful rural area, and as much as I'd like to join in with Parkrun, I can't justify the travel time, especially when I can just step foot outside of my house and get any number of beautiful routes around me. I help organise a 10k run in my area, and am always quite sad that we've not really got a space that could work for a parkrun, as there are so many local keen runners.

My nearest one is 4 miles away (used to be 400m until we moved) but I'm a tourist at heart. Done 80 different events so far. Last week I travelled 100mile round trip to do one.

I have two within an hours drive, neither would be possible on public transport without leaving on the Friday and camping overnight 😂

I have quite a few within easy reach, 2 about 2km away, a few more between 5km and 10km away. I run to the nearby ones as a warmup and cycle to the others if doing them.
I am a bit of a parkrun tourist and if away and there is one nearby I will usually do it.

5 minutes drive to local one. 10 minutes drive to 3 other different ones. Love them all. Occasionally visit parkruns further away for the fun. Would love one I could walk to but the local one can't be reached on foot because there is no footpath for part of the way.

OP it sounds to me like you might live in Brighton!

If you do, then the tricky one you mentioned is in the field behind my house, so really close :)

About 2 minute walk. Do a lot of touring but I’m a bit more conscious of the carbon footprint of it than I was 5/6 years ago so I tend to only tour now when I’m in an area for another reason rather than driving a long way just to parkrun.

My nearest was 14 miles away - about 25mins drive. So I've never been!
Just heard a new one has opened only 3 miles away. But the terrain is big gravel.
Running out of excuses...

I have 4 parkruns within about 10 miles (20-25 min drive), none within walking or running distance unfortunately

I occasionally will travel a bit further (max 45 min drive) to try out other relatively local courses and if I'm away for a weekend somewhere with a parkrun then I have been known to go as a parkrun tourist

With the rising price of car fuel I am planning to start cycling to parkrun rather than drive if I can get myself out of bed early enough!

I drive to mine, used to cycle or run when I lived closer to one but we're currently up a massive hill from it and I can't do the cycle there and back plus parkrun at the moment. It's a shame really, I'd rather bike but am trying to carshare where possible.

About 10 mins drive but I'm buying a bike and will start cycling as soon as I've done that. There's one a bit further that I'm keen to try as it looks beautiful (trail one).

My nearest is 8/9 miles away so have to drive. I have done 31 different parkrun courses and have more planned this year. I did drive 4 hours for one once. It was with friends who tourist a lot. I don't tourist as much as another group people I know, but that's because I'm not as good friends with them as I once thought I was (another story for another day).

I am trying to get back into the tourist thing, but it's a bit daunting on your own sometimes. My nearest one I've not done is 21 miles away.

I do all sorts of courses, hilly, flat, trail, grass, path. I enjoy the different runs. Totally understand why its not for everyone though. We all like different things.

We leave home at 8:50am to get to our local Parkrun.

We’ve done the occasional bit of tourism, but as DH needs our only car to take one of the sprogs to their swimming lesson then we’re mostly at our home run.

I drive around 5-8 miles depending on other plans - most often I go to a flat mixed trail one with friends, sometimes I go to an undulating urban park one, both are around 15 minutes drive.

I plan to do some of the other local area parkruns as the opportunity arises because they're all so different and it's nice to go for a run with a preplanned route. I would drive a similar distance for a nice run without parkrun.

Tourism is only when I'm there anywhere for me - if it fits around other plans. At my in-laws it's walk/runnable to the local parkrun which is nice.

When I started parkrun there was none near me and I drove 30 min to go to one with my sister. After about 2 years one opened a km from my home so I used to jog there and back. Now I've moved 5 miles away and I still jog there but either my husband collects me if he's doing any jobs in the area or I run another 2 miles to get the train home . I have one local to me just over a mile away but I haven't tried that yet as its all on grass and I'm not a xc runner! I might try it in summer when it's dry!

Patkrun 1) Car 5mi/ 11mins or Bike 3.9mi and a hypothetical 20 mins... clearly google is a more proficient cyclist than me! I have cycled it when volunteering, but it's the uphill home that's the killer.

Parkrun 2) Car 6.7mi/ 12 mins or Bike 4.7mi and a laughable "27 mins" that assumes I have quads of steel that can cycle up some nasty hills. Still officially my home run (older than run 1) and we're there most weeks for juniors.

Parkruns 3 & 4 are about a 25 min drive and I'll go occasionally if with DS1 or want a trail.

Parkruns 5 & 6 are 35-45 mins away up the motorway. I go to those sometimes to meet with a friend as they're roughly equidistant from us and it's a lovely way to squeeze in a little semi-frequent catch-up doing something we both love without having to carve out a big chunk of time.

I have done proper touristing occasionally when I've been away.

There’s a junior pr three miles away, but it’s waterlogged all winter and no buses on a Sunday. The next nearest junior is about 8 miles away, still no buses, so if we go, we’ll drive..

There 4 normal parkruns within 10 miles/30 mins drive. 2 are not accessible by bus; one is a 20 min bus journey, but the buses only go once every 2 hours; 1 is a 45 min bus journey and a 15 min walk. Again, if we go to any, we drive. This is why we tend not to go!

Doh, run 30 mins!

Mine's 4 miles. I sometimes run or cycle there but do mostly take the car.

It's not 15 mins there to run 30 miles and drive home though. I didn't get home until nearly 1pm yesterday after a lovely morning drinking coffee with friends in the sunshine

Even when it's cold and wet I'll be there good hour and a half, it's about so much more than the run.

My nearest one is central in a large town. The streets and car parks are utterly rammed with attendees. I'm sure far more could walk there. I find it utterly ironic.

It’s about 6 miles to my home one, I usually drive as the bus takes forever and times don’t work out well, but occasionally I’ll cycle if I don’t have other stuff to take and the weather is ok. There’s one closer but I don’t enjoy it. I’ll drive up to around an hour from home tourism on a Saturday morning (usually car sharing) and try to do one when I’m away if I can. We usually plan a weekend or two away a year around a parkrun or parkrun and race with running club or parkrun friends.

35 mins drive away, likely an hour by bus

10 minute cycle to my nearest, 2 others within a 15-20 minute cycle

10/15 minute walk from my local one
