It’s proved a hit across the country and now it’s the Douglas Shire’s turn to embrace the positive, welcoming and inclusive experience that is known as park run.
The free community based activity is a weekly event held on Saturdays, featuring a 5km run, jog or walk and a 2km option for juniors and families.
As it stands there are currently 466 park run events held each weekend across the country.
The first step in park run becoming a reality in Douglas is to establish a volunteer committee to run events.
A park run program will assist with training and logistics.
If you’re interested in being a committee member contact Douglas Shire Council.
