Strokestown

The Strokestown parkrun begins and ends in front of the stunning Park Gardens within the historic grounds of Strokestown Park House and the National Famine Museum. This engaging three-lap anticlockwise course guides participants through the estate’s lush greenery, offering views of the 18th-century mansion and its celebrated walled gardens. Runners navigate a varied route that passes under a canopy of mature trees and winds through the heart of this significant heritage site. The terrain consists of a mixture of bitmac and gravel paths, which can be uneven and provide a rugged, natural feel underfoot. This professionally organized event is celebrated for its tranquil setting and the vibrant community spirit fostered at the nearby Strokestown Park Café.
