My family and I do parkrun most weeks, we usually run (or volunteer) at Gardiners Creek in Melbourne but we have visited other parkruns in Melbourne and have also done our fair share of “touristing” parkruns when on holidays. For us as a family parkrun has brought many new connections and friendly faces into…
Fletcher says that he is probably the best-known dog at Westerfolds. He loves to run, but just gets so excited when he arrives at the Park – so many people, other dogs, and possibly kangaroos. He wants to welcome everyone when he gets there, and does this loudly. In fact, he tends to drown…

I made it to the first parkrun in Australia. It went a little different to how I’d imagined… I arrived at Main Beach, on the Gold Coast at 6:35am. My partner and I were there to do a parkrun we’d not done before, and so there was a little of the first time nerves…
