Organisation Type: Clubs and Organisations

ARU Writtle parkrun launched in December 2025 and takes place every Saturday at 9am on the fields and paths at the rear of the Anglia Ruskin University College grounds on Lordship Road, Writtle.

The weekly (Saturday) event is a free, volunteer- focused community walking/running event and one of around 1000 such weekly events in the UK!

The event format is 5KM (3.12 miles) in length and takes place on beautiful Anglia Ruskin University land, including the main path to Cow Watering Lane and around the lake passing fields and paddocks full of horses and sheep!

There’s loads of free car parking and toilets on site and we are hopeful of refreshments being available really soon!

We are really keen to identify anyone who would be interested in getting involved in one of a number of volunteer roles on offer including Marshalling, time keeping, barcode scanning, handing out finish tokens and much more! Full training is given and will only take a minute or two!

Come and join the parkrun ‘family’ of volunteers. Our attendees always remark on how friendly the event and our volunteers are. You will always be welcome!

We have our own website where more information can be found: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/aruwrittle/

And our event e-mail address is aruwrittle@parkrun.com

We look forward to seeing attendees soon!
