parkrun is a free, timed 5k run or walk that takes place every Saturday morning at 9am, open to anyone, of any ability, and entirely run by volunteers.
Littlehampton Prom parkrun meets on the promenade, starting near the pier and coastguard station, with the route heading out along the flat, tarmac seafront path — making it a popular, sociable and very achievable 5k for regulars and complete beginners alike. Afterwards, many participants head to a nearby café for a post-run coffee.
Registration is free and only needs doing once — search "parkrun" online to register and print or save your barcode before your first run. Juniors can take part in the separate Mewsbrook junior parkrun, a free 2k held on Sunday mornings in Mewsbrook Park, starting near the Mewsbrook Park Cafe.
Whether you're chasing a personal best or just after a sociable Saturday morning walk by the sea, it's one of the easiest ways to get moving in Littlehampton — see also our exercise and fitness pages for more on staying active.
