Newborough parkrun is a FREE weekly timed 5km event for runners of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 8am at Moe Botanical Gardens, Botanic Drive, Newborough
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!

Newborough parkrun
Event number 446
5th September 2026
This week 55 incredibly dedicated parkpeople ran, jogged, walked and swam the course. Well done to every one of you for braving the rain today.

We welcomed a tourist from Perth today, Peter CONSTABLE, and a new local junior ran her first "official" parkrun today, Peyton HINES. Hopefully we see a lot more of Peyton, she's a speedy one.

Congratulations to Jayden CAMM, Amy SMITH, Phillip TOWNSEND and Simon ORTEGA who recorded new Personal Bests.

The event was made possible by 12 volunteers: Huge thank you to Amber ERICKSEN • Sharon MADELEY • Jessica KOOLEN • Ivana KOOLEN • Dale BARROW • Jamie BARROW • Lorraine BEASLEY • Michelle WU • Ben YORK • Carol GRIGARIUS • Lucy YEUNG • Barry D**E

🌧️ WELL, WE WERE WRONG! 🌧️

Looks like the weather did have a sense of humour… and it ate our “pouring with rain” forecast for breakfast! 😂

But seriously, if you’re sitting at home thinking, “Surely they’re not still running in THAT,” … YES, WE ARE! 🤣

Come on down to Newborough parkrun this morning. It’s only water, and it washes off… eventually. 😜

Bring your rain jacket, your sense of humour, and maybe a towel for the car seat. Because nothing says “I’m a serious runner” quite like squelching your way to the finish line! 🏃‍♀️💦

And remember, the wetter you get, the more impressive your post-run coffee becomes. ☕😂

See you at 7.45am! 🌧️🏃‍♂️

Friday night parkrun thoughts…

The weather looks like it might stay dry until after parkrun tomorrow morning, so we’re keeping everything crossed! 🤞🤞

Whether you’re a runner, walker, jogger, volunteer or just here for the coffee, we’d love to see you at Newborough parkrun tomorrow. 💙

Bring your friends, bring your good vibes and maybe bring a rain jacket… just in case the weather decides to have a sense of humour! 😂

First Timers Welcome: 7.45am
Run Briefing: 7.50am
Start: 8.00am

See you in the morning, parkrun family! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️☕
