A free, weekly, timed 5k walk/jog/run at 9am every Saturday. Open to all ages and abilities. Organised entirely by volunteers. Friendly and fun.
The course is normally around Lodmoor Country Park although during the winter in wet conditions an alternative course along Weymouth seafront is used. Please visit website to see current situation …
Load moreThe results are in, and I'd just like to thank all the volunteers, but particularly all the guys in the finish area for doing an absolutely A-MAZ-ING job at our busiest ever parkrun. operational problems meant that about 22 time records are missing 501-522, so if you are in that window and know your time, please let me know,
So our new record is 696 runners, exactly 200 more than our previous best. There were 128 first timers and 66 new PBs.
You were all great, but I will give a special mention to course record holder Phil Wicks and former course record holder Emily Wicks. I believe they used to hold the record as the fastest husband and wife combined time for the London Marathon ... on the subject of which ... I shall not be at Weymouth parkrun next week 🙂
In my absence I hope you have the time of your lives!

Grand job Keith. We need Steve to post his video of your busking in the pub garden 😊 Oh and good luck next week x
So the epitaph would read something like, “Keith, a great results processor who took on the 700 beast and gallantly won”. Well done Keith, a sterling effort with less than the usual info. The missing 501-522 placing would concur with mine and Sally’s handing over of the sacred stopwatch! Oh well, we all live to fight another day.
Fabulous work guys ... thank you from one of your extra tourists today. Great support from all the volunteers. 😎
Well done to all in the finish area, I imagine it got a bit hairy at times today. Fab job Keith and good luck for next week 👍
Well done Keith for pulling that together!! Tough job for anyone. Have a great run next week it'll be a breeze compared to Parkrun results this week!! 😁😁 xx
Well done Keith and all the amazing volunteers this week. What an incredible number 😊
Sorry we missed it, but we were tourists at Haldon Forest parkrun
Amazing job Keith. That was a tough job today.
Great job Keith it was a tough one 👍
Good luck next week Keith Pullen 🏃♂️
Wow so close to that 700 mark and so unexpectedly! Well done all for managing that out of the blue 🙂
Well done to our team today on managing 200 more runners than our previous record turnout.. The results may be delayed as we ran out of tokens at 671. There may be some issues with times and we may ask for some help filling in the gaps. We will respond to emails but our results processor wants to enjoy Easter weekend too so don’t expect an immediate reply. Enjoy the moment of being there with 700 runners, 30 volunters and countless supporters of Weymouth parkrun. Well done again to everyone for making the Weymouth parkrun teams weekend
Also don't forget it is pacing next weekend: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BQFP5PQ

Thank you very much, really enjoyed the run this morning and I think I got a PB! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Well done all! I was very surprised to get token 6 this morning but will take it even if it was actually 677! lol! I don't envy you processing all those results today but I do appreciate it.
Great work today volunteers. That was a lot of people
That’s nuts, thanks for the work!
Thanks so much! 👌🏻❤️
A huge thank you to all of today’s volunteers, you did an amazing job with so many runners. We’ve been hoping for 500 for a while but 700 certainly tested us to the limits. Well done to RD Mike who remained calm on the surface at least and to Keith who’s processing results.
Enjoy the sunshine and the Easter break

Thanks to all our volunteers and organisers - another fab event, well done. Certainly was busy!
Thank you all, as someone who has never dared brave a park run before (even though I walked it) I want to thank you for creating an atmosphere that gave me the confidence to even do that.

Well done everyone, that’s a huge amount of runners.
700+ runners... must have been the thought of free chocolate 🙂 Fantastic volunteers as always. Top work everyone. Along with #dfyb, #dontturnlobsterred should be the next Weymouth parkrun tagline 😎

Well done everyone especially the volunteers, sorry I missed it.
It’s was brill and I heard a lot of holiday makers commenting how good the course was. Well done - k Heather Summers - check the numbers running
An interesting Parkrun from a timekeeper's point of view!! Really hope that Keith doesn't spend all day doing results, it was a tricky day!! 😎😎
Thought there seemed a 'few' more, but surprised it was that many. Well done to all the volunteers, and Keith for processing the results #imaybesometime 😂 Looking forward to the first runner's time, to see if he's beaten his course record.
Wow really 700!!! No wonder the poor barcode scanners were a little stressed!! Bet their fingers were sore by the end. Thanks to everyone for a great run xx
