Wyndham Vale parkrun

Walk, jog or run 5km (or volunteer)! parkrun is a free weekly timed community 5km event every Saturday at 8am organised by volunteers.

You don't have to be fit or fast, there is always a 'tail walker' who finishes last and encourages those who are near them. Under 11s are able to complete the distance but must be within arms reach of a responsible adult at all times.

parkrun is about having a go, and completing it in your own time – speed does not matter. parkrun is about building a supportive community to help others be active. As the event is organised by volunteers why not consider helping out? Each volunteer role is simple and you will be shown what to do.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to listen to the event briefing and follow all up-to-date Covid government guidelines. Participants need to register at www.parkrun.com.au/register then either download or print out their unique athlete barcode and bring it along on the day – this is important, as without a barcode your result cannot be registered.

For 4 to 14 year olds there is a 2km junior parkrun. Children can walk, jog, skip and run their way around and parents can accompany them to help them along. The closest junior parkrun to Wyndham is at Eynesbury on Sundays at 8am. Many children find 2km achievable and rewarding: www.parkrun.com.au/eynesburyheritagetrail-juniors
