parkrun 4 everyone


parkrun Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that provides weekly, timed 5km running/walking events to communities across Australia. parkrun events are inclusive, welcoming people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels. The weekly format encourages people to commit to regular physical activity. parkrun events also promote positive mental health and wellbeing through building community and social connectedness. Coordinated entirely by volunteers and 100% free to participants, parkrun events remove the cost barriers often associated with organised activity and participating in sport.


Parkrun is a great pathway for participants to transition in and out of sports providing an inclusive environment to build fitness, get active and be outdoors


However with no membership or weekly fees, parkrun Australia relies on sponsorship income to fund its operating costs. And these funds don’t cover the full costs associated with starting new events. ‘parkrun 4 everyone’ is an initiative designed to raise funds to fulfil parkrun Australia’s mission: to provide a free, weekly, timed 5km running/walking event to every community that wants one. There is no master plan on when and where parkrun Australia will launch events. Events are initiated by individuals or groups who see a need for parkrun in their community.


parkrun Australia provide information and support, with organisers set the task of finding $7,500 to fund the event start up costs. Some events have great success sourcing funding through their local Council and other community grants. For others, raising this money can be a challenge, putting the launch of their parkrun event in jeopardy. Parkrun Australia are asking the Australian public to support our new ‘parkrun 4 everyone’ initiative. ‘parkrun 4 everyone’ is run in partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation. Donations of $2 or more are fully tax deductible and 100% of funds will go towards the continued pursuit of our mission—to provide a parkrun event to every community that wants one.
