5K&Stay pins the exact spot your parkrun actually starts from — then shows you hotels, B&Bs and apartments nearby, each with the real walking time to the start, so there are no race-morning surprises about where you'll be for the pre-run briefing.
New to it? parkrun is a free, timed 5K held every Saturday morning — walk it, jog it or run it, everyone's welcome. Register once (free) at parkrun.org.uk and bring your barcode — no barcode, no time.
Always free to search. We earn a small commission if you book — never a fee to you.
Built by parkrunners: we give 10% of profits back to parkrun.

Venue names, addresses and ratings are real public listings, and the walking distance and time are real routes from the verified start pin. Booking links open on Booking.com via our Commission Junction partnership. 5K&Stay may earn a commission when you book through links on this page — it never affects the price you pay.
Published parkrun coordinates mark the park, not always the exact meeting point. We look at public Strava activities that start within 100m of that listed location on Saturday mornings, in a 30-minute window either side of the local start time — 9am across most of the UK, or 9:30am in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, where events start half an hour later — and cluster them to find where runners actually gather.
The tighter the cluster, the higher our confidence rating — shown on every parkrun page.
All coordinates are live data. Verified starts are proposed from real GPS activity data, then reviewed and approved by a human on satellite imagery before they appear here.
