Autumn Run League 2026
Six weeks. Six routes. One league.
The Run in the Park Autumn Run League 2026 starts on Thursday 8 October 2026, with races scheduled at two-hour intervals throughout the day. Instead of racing the same distance each week, the league will take runners across six different Zwift routes, ranging from short, fast races to longer efforts.
Each round awards league points based on your finishing position within your group, with your best 5 results from 6 counting towards the final league standings.

Best 5 From 6
All six rounds offer league points, but only your best five scores count towards your final league total. That means one missed event or one bad result doesn't have to ruin your league.
Runners compete within their usual A, B, C or D ability group, with group selection based on current 5 km ability rather than the distance of that week's race.

Run in the Park Saturday
Come and join the original Zwift group run — a welcoming 5 km mass start event held six times every Saturday, starting at 08:15 BST and then every three hours throughout the day.
Open to runners of all abilities, from recreational joggers to elite athletes. Arrive at the start gates a little early to chat with fellow runners and perhaps find someone of a similar pace to run with.
There is no time limit, so simply run at your own pace and enjoy the course.
- The original Zwift group run
- Multiple start times every Saturday
- Suitable for every ability level
- A friendly and supportive atmosphere
Run in the Park 5km's
Join us for a structured 5 km progressive workout designed to help you improve your pacing, build speed and enjoy running together.
Each group targets a specific 5 km finish time, with the pace increasing each kilometre before finishing with a fast 400 m free run to the line. Warm-up and cooldown segments are included, and the event concludes with a relaxed 10-minute post-run chat.
- Group A – 20 minute 5 km (6.0 km total)
- Group B – 25 minute 5 km (6.0 km total)
- Group C – 30 minute 5 km (6.0 km total)
- Group D – 35 minute 5 km (5.6 km total)
- Group E – 40 minute 5 km (5.4 km total)
Choose the group based on the 5 km time you would like to target. This is a workout event rather than a race, making it ideal for improving your 5 km speed, practising pacing discipline and enjoying a structured session with friends.
