Gungahlin parkrun

Gungahlin parkrun is a free, weekly 5-kilometre community event held every Saturday morning at 8:00 am around Yerrabi Pond in Gungahlin, Canberra. The course is flat, fast, and scenic, featuring smooth tarmac paths and tree-lined foreshore views, making it accessible and enjoyable for participants of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you walk, jog, run, push a pram, or bring your dog, Gungahlin parkrun welcomes everyone in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. With about 250 participants each week, it fosters a strong local running community where people gather not only to exercise but to connect socially, often enjoying a post-run coffee catch-up nearby. The event operates entirely on volunteers and encourages newcomers to register once online before joining. It’s designed to promote health, well-being, and community spirit by providing an inclusive, timed 5 km event where individuals can challenge their personal bests or simply enjoy the outdoors in good company.
