Garvey Park parkrun

Garvey Park parkrun in Ascot, Western Australia, is a free, weekly 5-kilometer event held every Saturday morning that welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you prefer to walk, jog, or run, the event is inclusive and casual, allowing each person to set their own pace.

This local initiative is part of the larger parkrun Australia network, which hosts similar free events nationwide, promoting health and community engagement.
