Free weekly community event inspired by parkrun UK – 5K at 9 am every Saturday
You can walk, jog or run along the beautiful Zug lake
There is no time limit and you will find a welcoming and inclusive experience
how does it work
we meet outside Speck in Kolin Platz and run a flat, fast and traffic free route
race to a personal best or jog or run/walk to enjoy the beautiful views from the lakeside
and of course coffee and cake after the run is a good chance to catch up and meet new running friends
in addition to the 5K every Saturday we organise ad hoc events and longer runs
our 5K route takes you all the way to Bruggli and back
if you are running with children or are taking it easy after an illness or injury you are welcome to choose a shorter distance: 3K or 1.5K or 1K
all distances are set up in Strava which offers a free and convenient way to record your time
other ways to record your time: your GPS watch readout or just time yourself with an ordinary watch and post on the WhatsApp chat
you can still track your progress and enjoy the virtual community of the WhatsApp group
free weekly 5K run every Saturday; or you can run a shorter distance: run with your kids, your friends, with your colleagues and neighbours
we are not the official parkrun UK event – we are inspired by it but totally DIY: Do It Yourself = ZugDIYParkRun
meet new people, make new friends and find out about other running groups and there is always (optional) coffee and cake after th
in addition, once a month there is an longer route on Sunday – the location is different every time and there is a choice of distances up to 20K
