Golden Harvest parkrun

A lovely venue in the heart of the Northern suburbs. A free timed event. Single lap course of 5km . Volunteer-led free weekly timed runs.

It is a good idea to arrive early as the entrance to the park can get congested Parkrun is a beautifully simple concept: turn up every Saturday at 8am and run 5k. It doesn’t matter how fast you go. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing. What matters is taking part. Parkrun is all about inclusiveness and wellbeing. We want as many people as possible to feel part of a real local community brought together by our events: belonging to one global parkrun family.

67 Minutes for your Community: Make Mandela Day a parkrun Volunteer Day! 🇿🇦✨

This year, Mandela Day falls on a parkrun Saturday (18 July), giving us the perfect opportunity to honor Tata Madiba’s legacy right in our own backyard.

Nelson Mandela gave 67 years of his life fighting for human rights. This Mandela Day, we are asking the parkrun community to give 67 minutes back by stepping up to volunteer! 🧡

Whether you are scanning barcodes, marshaling out on the course, or tail walking, your time directly helps keep our event free, safe, and fun for everyone.

How to get involved:
1. Check out the volunteer roster at your local event.
2. Choose a role that suits you (no experience needed!).
3. email your event to secure your spot.

Let’s make this Mandela Day one to remember by coming together and making a difference. See you on Saturday! 🙌
