Why it's worth checking out
Chermside parkrun is a free weekly 5km community event held at Kidspace Playground in 7th Brigade Park, Chermside. You can walk, jog, run, volunteer or simply spectate, with no requirement to keep to a particular pace. It is a straightforward way to take part in an organised outdoor activity in Brisbane without an entry fee.
The event runs every Saturday at 7:00am. First-time visitors need to register with parkrun beforehand and bring a scannable barcode; without one, a finish time will not be recorded. The start point is on Murphy Road, and the event website directs newcomers to its course description for further details.
Chermside parkrun is run each week by volunteers, with opportunities to help through the volunteer team. The atmosphere is presented as friendly and inclusive, with participants invited to join the group for coffee at a local café after the run. It suits people who want a timed 5km, a relaxed walk, a regular weekend run, or a chance to meet others through a local community event. Check the course information before your first visit and the results or news pages after taking part.
