Edgbaston Reservoir parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Edgbaston Reservoir, Birmingham. The course is run on a mixture of tarmac paths and gravel paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

What people say

“I love coming here for my runs — the loops are perfect and the recently renovated paths make it even better. It’s great for walking, jogging, or just enjoying the water. You’ll meet plenty of friendly locals at all…”Wojciech Nadolski · 5 stars

“Two lap course around the reservoir. Mostly on paths, some gravel surfaces. Mostly flat. Friendly and encouraging volunteers. Good crowd. Cafe is only a moments walk away afterwards.”Kimberley Chalmers · 5 stars
