Portland parkrun

Directions Website Contact the organization

Portland parkrun Portland parkrun is a free, timed, 5km run / walk put on by the community for the community at 8am every Saturday morning in Portland, Victoria.

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. Portland 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 Fawthrop Lagoon area 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! Safety briefing is at 7:50am, Run Commence.s 8am sharp

🏃‍♀️ Portland parkrun Event #491 🌊☀️

After last night’s wind and rain, Mother Nature decided to redeem herself and delivered a beautiful day for parkrun! ☀️ We welcomed 46 participants to enjoy the fresh air and our lovely course.

🎉 Milestone celebrations and PBs! 🎉

A big congratulations to Archer Dawson, who completed his 10th parkrun last week, and Phillip Dawson, who celebrated his 50th parkrun today! Fantastic efforts to you both! 👏🥳

Congratulations also to Ollie Dawson and Nyla Conheady on achieving new personal bests today! 🎉👏

🌏 Tourists ahoy! ✈️

We welcomed visitors from Darebin, Toolern Creek, Bendigo Botanic Gardens and De Soza. Thanks for joining us! We hope you enjoyed our course as much as we do. 💚

👋 First-timer alert!

A huge Portland parkrun welcome to Sanna Juul and Levi Watt, who completed their very first parkruns today! 🎉 We hope this is the beginning of many more Saturday morning adventures. You’ve got the parkrun bug now! 😉

🙋‍♀️ Kids Take Over – Saturday 7 November!

Calling all under-18s! We’re looking for enthusiastic young volunteers to take over Portland parkrun for our Kids Take Over event.

It’s a fantastic way for kids to get involved, try something new and discover that volunteering can be just as much fun as participating!

Children under 11 must have an adult participate alongside them, and they’ll receive a volunteer credit too. So, kids, grab an adult and get involved! 🌟
