Junior Parkrun events across England, as well as the city's one at Riverside Park, are expected to return from Sunday, April 11.
Rob Kelly, organiser of Southampton parkrun, said: "Were all very excited.
"It's quite an emotional announcement for a lot of us that are involved with Parkrun.
"The dates might change a little but I would say it's odds on it will happen on the June 5 with the roll out of the vaccine."
He added: "We're all very excited but now we have to start the process again and get everything in place and ready."
