Bathurst parkrun A free, weekly, timed 5k event every Saturday morning at 8am in Bicentennial Park, Bathurst. Everyone is welcome to walk, run or volunteer.

parkrun is not a race against other runners, but a 5km timed run, jog or walk. It can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan. Bathurst parkrun offers an opportunity for all members of our local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy our beautiful Macquarie River and get physically active in the process. We want to encourage people to walk, jog or run together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE! Taking part is easy – just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun event. 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!

It's all happening this long weekend at Bathurst parkrun! We're celebrating Kelso High Campus - Denison College 50th anniversary with a whole stack of the volunteers this week either students, teachers, staff or parents - past and present.

We're also celebrating the 22nd anniversary of parkrun around the world - that calls for a tutu for the 22 don't you think? Or perhaps bring 2 new friends to parkrun?

If that's not enough, we also have pacers! The team at RUN RIOT have put together a crew to help you hit your target - a bit of a tune up in the lead up to the Mount Panorama Punish!

See? I told you it was all happening!

Occasionally we need a callout for a few more volunteers - this coming Saturday we're still short a couple of marshals. If you can help, please let us know below. It's a simple role, no experience necessary and a fun way to watch parkrun happen, especially if you're injured or can't run this week.
