Make Christmas Day a Race Day with parkrun!

Across Northern Ireland, from Derry to Portrush, Belfast, Lurgan, and countless communities in between, parkrun events are opening their start lines for a special Christmas Day run.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a weekend jogger, or simply looking to get moving before the celebrations begin, a Christmas parkrun is the perfect way to start the day with energy, joy, and community spirit. Bring your family, gather your friends, or head out solo, everyone is welcome, and no one finishes last.

Many parkruns across the country are hosting festive events, complete with Santa hats, cheerful volunteers, and plenty of holiday atmosphere. It’s a brilliant opportunity to stretch your legs, share some smiles, and be part of something special before the presents and mince pies begin!
