Ballarat parkrun is a free, timed, 5km run / walk put on by the community for the community at 8am every Saturday morning in Ballarat, Victoria. parkrun is a not-for-profit organisation established in the United Kingdom in 2004 to provide a free, weekly, timed 5km running event to every community that wants one. Events are organised by local volunteers with support from parkrun HQ.
parkrun is not a race against other runners, but a 5km timed run, jog or walk. It can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan. Ballarat parkrun offers an opportunity for all members of our local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy our beautiful Victoria Park and get physically active in the process. We want to encourage people to walk, jog or run together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE! Taking part is easy – just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun event. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there! To provide a free, weekly, timed 5km running and walking event to every community that wants one, thereby strengthening community connections and helping reduce the prevalence of chronic lifestyle related diseases.
Our aim: To positively impact the Ballarat community by offering superior netball opportunities to enable individuals at every level to achieve their best
