North Sydney parkrun

North Sydney parkrun is a free, weekly 5km community event held every Saturday morning at St Leonards Park, Ridge Street, North Sydney. It is open to people of all ages and fitness levels who can walk, jog, run, volunteer, or simply spectate. The event is not a race but a timed run that encourages participants to enjoy physical activity at their own pace, whether for fun, fitness, or training. Participants must register once online and then can attend regularly without further registration. After the run, there is usually a social coffee gathering at a local café, fostering community connection and camaraderie. The event is entirely volunteer-run, making it a great opportunity to both participate and contribute to the community. Milestones are celebrated with free t-shirts, and all times are emailed to participants to track progress. North Sydney parkrun welcomes everyone, from beginners to advanced runners, promoting health, inclusiveness, and social engagement in a supportive environment.
