parkrun Australia Information

The best-kept secret about parkrun is that it’s not about running — it’s about bringing people together in public parks and open spaces to have some fun in a friendly, social and supportive environment. You can walk or run the 5k course (pushing a pram or with one dog on a short lead if you want to!), lend a helping hand as a volunteer in a wide range of super-easy roles, or simply spectate and socialise on the sidelines. The average finish time at parkrun gets slower every year, and regular participation is rewarded rather than performance. parkrun is whatever you want it to be, whenever you want to take part. Most parkruns finish with a social gathering at a coffee shop or community centre and everyone is invited to come along for refreshments and a chat.
