parkrun is the fitness phenomenon that has taken the world by storm, connecting communities across the globe.

Parkrun’s concept is simple: turn up, walk or run five kilometres, and join the movement.

It’s a concept that caught the eye of young Australian Tim Oberg, who, whilst living in London, made it his mission to bring the event down under.

In 2011, Tim became the founder and CEO of parkrun Australia, and launched the event at Main Beach on the Gold Coast – the first parkrun location in the southern hemisphere.

Today, there are 406 parkrun locations across Australia, nine of which are based on the Gold Coast.
