Southend parkrun meets in Gunners Park every Saturday at 09:00. We pin the start line on the map below — the official published pin always, plus a human-verified start point once one has been approved — so you can find a place to stay nearby, with the real walking time to the pre-run briefing.
New to parkrun? Register once (free) at parkrun.org.uk and bring your barcode — no barcode, no time.
Published parkrun coordinates mark the park, not always the exact meeting point. We propose corrected start points from public GPS activity data, then a human reviews each one on satellite imagery before it goes live. This panel updates automatically as pins are approved.
All coordinates are live data. Verified starts are proposed from real GPS activity data, then reviewed and approved by a human before they appear here.
