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

Volunteers Needed This Weekend
We’re looking for a few extra helping hands at Swakopmund parkrun this Saturday.
No experience needed — just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll guide you on the rest!
Comment below or send us a message if you’re available.
🌳 parkrun can only go ahead if we have enough volunteers, so if you’ve been thinking about giving it a try, this is your sign! We’d love to have you on the team.

Michael Dooley from Lansing Beach Green in the UK visited us on 16 May and made this lovely video for us. He is on a mission to cycle to every parkrun country in the world 😲 - yes you read that right. He has already done every parkrun country in Europe and now he is on his African visit. We all wish him safe and happy cycling.

Just a quick heads-up for tomorrow’s parkrun
There is an event taking place nearby, and one side of Strand Street will be closed.
Our route is NOT affected, but access to parkrun may be slightly busier than usual, so we’d recommend arriving a little earlier.
See you at the yellow bus for the briefing by 07:50 — remember we start 08:00 sharp.
Don’t forget your barcode 💚

Swakopmund parkrun — Event 400
A tiny bit nippy, but definitely one for the books.
Our volunteers bundled up to brave the weather and make parkrun possible — thank you, as always, for showing up so selflessly week after week after week. You are so appreciated.
And to every walker, jogger, runner, timer, marshal, barcode scanner, cheerleader, and setup/breakdown crew member… thank you for being part of this community. We’re so very lucky.
400 events later, and Swakopmund parkrun has grown — we couldn’t be prouder 💚
💚🙌🏻
