On its official launch day in October 2024, Battersea parkrun was the most-attended parkrun in the world.
Over the past year, it has welcomed over 25,000 participants and recorded almost 44,000 finishes, quickly making it a staple of Saturday mornings for residents and visitors alike.
Wandsworth council says the “popular 5k, which has been identified as one of the UK’s most popular parkruns, has drawn a diverse mix of participants, including disabled runners, Chelsea Pensioners, walkers, cancer support groups and families with babies in buggies, not to mention plenty of enthusiastic dogs.”
Around 1,000 people turned out for the 43rd Battersea parkrun.
