Aurora parkrun

Aurora parkrun in Epping, located in the northern suburbs of Victoria, Australia, is a free, weekly 5-kilometer community event held every Saturday morning. Open to participants of all abilities and ages, it encourages people to walk, jog, run, or even volunteer. The event is not a competitive race but rather a timed 5k that welcomes everyone—from beginners to experienced athletes—to enjoy being active in a friendly, supportive environment. Participants only need to register once on the parkrun website and can then join anytime. Post-run social gatherings, such as coffee catch-ups, offer a chance to connect and share experiences with fellow community members. Aurora parkrun serves as an inclusive, health-focused way to engage with locals, explore the beautiful park setting, and stay physically active regularly—all at no cost.The event is organized by volunteers and fosters a welcoming atmosphere that promotes physical wellbeing and community connection in the City of Whittlesea, where Epping is situated.
