The Beaches parkrun

parkrun is a global network of free, weekly, timed 5km running events for runners and walkers of all abilities! parkrun welcomes everyone from those just starting their fitness journey to Olympians, from 5 year old juniors to running veterans. There are over 1,000 parkruns around the world including almost 200 in Australia.

The Beaches parkrun takes place every Saturday at 8am, starting at Bar Beach, NSW. The Beaches is a unique member of the global parkrun family in that is is - at the time of writing - the only all-sand parkrun in the world!

Register:

Once registered, print your personal barcode which you can bring along each week to record a finish time. You can use the same barcode at any of the 1000+ parkrun locations worldwide. But remember: "no barcode, no result" - if you forget to bring a printed copy of your barcode, you can still participate but you will NOT record a finish time against your name.

Arrive before 7.50am for a "first-timers" brief and we’ll give you the full “run” down in person.

parkrun is totally free, but we ask that you volunteer at least 2-3 times per year.

- The Beaches is not a stroller-friendly course due to the sand
