Running and Sippo Lake parkrun

Explore the scenery on a variety of trail surfaces as the miles pass by on Stark Parks trails. Loop trails, long distances, and out and back routes can help you train for a competitive race or just enjoy the activity that you love.

Sippo Lake parkrun occurs Saturdays at 8 a.m. Held every Saturday morning at the Exploration Gateway lower parking lot and shelter, parkrun is a free, weekly, volunteer-led timed 5k run. Staged at parks around the world, these 5k events are open to everyone – including walkers, runners, strollers, and pets.
