About Us

South Oxhey parkrun is a FREE weekly 5km event for runners of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 9:00am in South Oxhey Playing Fields, Green Lane, Watford, WD19 4LT. It is not a race against other runners, but a 5k timed run and it can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan.

It offers an opportunity for all the local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy this beautiful park and get physically active into the bargain. We want to encourage people to jog or run together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE!

Taking part is easy – just register before your first ever parkrun. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there!

Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee at our pop up cafe at the finish line - please come and join us! Maybe swap stories about your run that day, chat to other runners over a cup of tea or coffee and just be an important part of this new running community.

So whether you are a complete novice looking to get yourself started on your own "running journey" or a seasoned athlete wanting to use this as a part of your training schedule, you’re welcome to come along and join us.

Pavilion : Pavilion is an old and attractive building leading onto the park and sports field, which has recently undergone a major refurbishment. The pub is split into three sections, with a superb indoor play building available for young children under 3 feet 5 inches tall, which includes an array of playing equipment. There is a free outside play area for older children, a large garden with picnic tables, and lots of room inside for when the weather is cold.

Three Rivers District Council: Three Rivers offers an ideal mixture of beautiful countryside, excellent leisure facilities, historic buildings, purpose built offices and well located parks and public open spaces. ?The District has large areas of attractive open countryside, much of it Green Belt. The District Council was established in 1974 by combining the former Urban Districts of Rickmansworth and Chorleywood with part of the Rural District of Watford.

Herts Sports Partnership: The Herts Sports and Physical Activity Partnership is an award winning organisation that was established in 2003. It is one of the 45 County Sport Partnerships in England that were created as part of the long-term plan for delivering sport across the nation. Known as HSP, the Partnership is led by an executive board of voluntary representatives and has a core team of full and part-time professionals all of whom are passionate about the work carried out by the Partnership.
