Welcome to Swakopmund parkrun🌳

Join us every Saturday for a free, weekly, timed 5km event along the scenic Swakopmund route. Run, jog or walk.

All fitness levels& ages are welcome. Bring your energy, friends, and your barcode. See you at startline Parkrun is such a simple concept;

Turn up every Saturday and run (or walk) 5km. It doesn’t matter how fast you go. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. What matters is taking part. Swakopmund parkrun starts every Saturday at 08:00 from the parking area of Fork ñ Nice (the yellow bus) in Strand Street. See our website for course map

Swakopmund parkrun Fam,

After checking the route this evening, we’ve made the decision to cancel Swakopmund parkrun this Saturday (18 July).

Unfortunately, the condition of the pathway means we aren’t comfortable taking the risk. Our priority is making sure the course is safe for everyone.

We’ve made this decision a little earlier to give everyone enough time to make alternative plans.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you back next week.

Your Swakopmund parkrun Event Directors 💚

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this event possible. Because of you, 118 participants were able to walk, jog, run and enjoy another beautiful Saturday morning together. She was a real beauty!

A special thank you to Kirsty for the en route photos — you captured the vibe, the smiles, and the perfect start to a sunny winter weekend.

What a lovely morning to be out on the promenade ☀️
