On Saturday, February 8, 2025 Northparkes Oval Parkrun will celebrate its fourth birthday.
Since starting in Parkes in 2021, 1521 people have come to either walk, jog or run the five kilometre course at one or many of its 189 events.
The course is now completely on sealed paths making it easier for people, particularly those pushing prams.
Everyone is welcome to join parkrun.
It's a completely free worldwide community event where people can either walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate each Saturday.
