Get Involved: Malahide Parkrun & PAC Juvenile Parkrun League

For athletes looking to build experience outside of formal competition, we encourage you to get involved in the local Malahide Parkrun. This friendly, community-based event welcomes all abilities and offers a great opportunity to build confidence, develop endurance, and enjoy running in a supportive and relaxed environment.

🎉 Introducing the PAC Parkrun League

To add an extra layer of motivation and fun, we’ll be running a PAC Parkrun League through to the end of the year, with prizes awarded at our end-of-year ceremony. This is a great opportunity to get involved, track your progress, and be part of the club community!

🏃‍♀️ How It Works

  • We’ve selected 12 key dates (see below) where PAC athlete participation will be tracked across both the 5km and 2km events.

  • Parkrun takes place every weekend at 9:30am:

    • 5km: Saturdays

    • 2km: Sundays

  • We understand not all dates will suit everyone, so each athlete’s score will be based on their best 6 performances.

  • Scoring is based on Age Graded Performance (as set by Parkrun), rather than finishing position.

  • We’ll also track and celebrate Personal Bests (PBs) throughout the league.

✅ How to Take Part

  • Register at Parkrun.ie

  • Update the “Memberships” section of your profile to Portmarnock Athletics Club
