A free, weekly, timed 5k event every Saturday morning at 8am at Lake Tuggeranong. Everyone is welcome to walk, run or volunteer.
(204)

Tuggeranong parkrun is a FREE weekly timed 5km event for runners of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 8am starting Feb 23 2013 in Tuggeranong, Canberra. parkrun is not a race against other runners, but a 5k timed run and it can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan. It offers an opportunity for all the local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy the beautiful surrounds and get physically active at the same time. We want to encourage people to jog or run together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE! General information
Taking part is easy – just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun here. 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!

A special 24-hour challenge starting at parkrun!

This week, we’ll be joined by a small group of parkrunners taking on an exciting challenge: completing our parkrun 24 times in 24 hours (although only their first parkrun will be official!).

They’ll complete their first parkrun with us and invite anyone to join them for additional “laps” at any time throughout the 24-hour challenge. Whether you fancy doing one extra lap or joining them for a few, anyone is welcome to come along and show their support!

There will be gazebos and information set up in the park, and you can find more details via the link in the comments.

IMPORTANT: Only the first parkrun is official. This 24-hour challenge is not a parkrun event.

A big thanks to all our volunteers today who made it possible for 375 parkrunners to finish Tuggernong parkrun.

It was great to see so much red out there today in support of “parkwalk for Daniel” day.

Have an awesome weekend. Don’t forget to volunteer. A copy of the roster along with this week’s results are available in the comments.

Don’t forget this coming week (31/10) is parkwalk for Daniel.

Child safety is everyone’s responsibility, and we’re proud to show our support this
Day for Daniel.

Big conversations don’t have to be difficult.
Talking about child safety can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Give kids the tools to recognise, react and report unsafe situations.

If you’d like to show your support, you can:
- wear red this week at Tuggeranong parkrun
- educate yourself on child safety
- donate here: www.mycause.com.au/

HEY I GOT MY RESULTS EMAIL FINALLY

Yes - you should now have your results email. Apologies for the delay.

About 80 runners had to be manually entered. If you were between positions 121 and 200 today, your final position will be substantially different to the barcode you were given. However, due to the magic of manual jiggerypokery on the keyboard, you, your time and finish position are now correctly aligned.

If you were between 121 and 200 and your result is wildly different (minutes not seconds) to your own timing equipment in a way that matters (eg you thought you got a PB but we say you didn’t, or vice versa), reach out and I’ll see if I can work out what’s gone on. Hopefully it’s all good.

Anyway, to make up for the inconvenience we have attached a voucher entitling you to a FREE parkrun at Tuggeranong next Saturday. Just write your name on it and give it to the RD.

I’m glad being a Run Director is a six figure* job or I wouldn’t do it after this!

You should volunteer. Fun stuff like this happens! Send us a message and we’ll hook you up with a red vest on a weekend very soon.

Results here: https://www.parkrun.com.au/tuggeranong/results/2026-10-24/

Right, I’m off for a lie down.

(* six figures in this instance being $000,000).

HEY WHERE ARE MY RESULTS?

Patience, grasshopper. Today’s results are going to need a little bit of adjustment and that is going to be a Laptop Job not a phone job because about 80 people need to have their results manually edited.

That can’t be done until this afternoon so my apologies for that one.

In the meantime, maybe consider volunteering for a slot in one of the coming weekends? Message us if you can :)
