Rockhampton parkrun is a FREE weekly 5k event for participants of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 7:00am in Botanic Gardens, 100 Spencer St, West Rockhampton, QLD 4700. It offers an opportunity for all the local community, regardless of age or gender, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy the outdoors and get physically active. We want to encourage people to run, jog, walk and volunteer together – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE!
Taking part is easy – just register before your first ever parkrun. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there! Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee in the Gardens Tearooms – please come and join us! Maybe swap stories about your parkrun that day, chat to other parkrunners over a cup of tea or coffee and just be a part of this community.
Rockhampton parkrun is entirely organised by volunteers who are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. The event is not just about physical activity but also about building a supportive and inclusive community. Whether you’re a complete novice looking to get started or a seasoned runner, Rockhampton parkrun welcomes everyone to join in the fun and camaraderie every Saturday morning.
