Palmerston parkrun is a free, timed, 5km run/walk put on for the community at 7am every Saturday morning at Palmerston water park, Palmerston, NT.

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. Palmerston 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 Palmerston Water Park 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!

New Year’s Day parkrun – Should we do it?

Did you know New Year’s Day falls on a Friday this year? That means the possibility of back-to-back parkruns at Palmerston, with our usual Saturday event following the next day!

Before we commit to holding a special New Year’s Day event, we need to know we’ll have enough volunteers to make it happen.

We love being able to offer extra opportunities for everyone to get their parkrun fix, but our events can only go ahead with the support of our amazing volunteers.

So, we want to hear from you!

Would you be available to volunteer on New Year’s Day?

If you think you could help out, let us know in the comments or send us a message. Your support will help us decide whether we can make this special event happen.

Remember, it’s not just about running or walking twice in two days — it’s about having the volunteers to make both events possible!

Let’s see if we can make it happen, Palmerston!
