New Farm parkrun

New Farm parkrun is a free, weekly 5km community event held at New Farm Park in Brisbane. It is open to people who want to walk, jog or run, as well as those who would rather volunteer or spectate. The emphasis is on taking part for enjoyment, so it suits a broad range of abilities and running experience rather than only speed-focused participants.

The event takes place every Saturday at 7am and requires registration before your first visit. Participants also need to bring a scannable parkrun barcode if they want their result recorded; the event operates a no-barcode, no-result policy. The event is organised and delivered by volunteers, with opportunities for newcomers and regulars to help make each week happen. After the run, the community usually meets for coffee at Mary Mae’s at the Brisbane Powerhouse, adding an easy social element to the morning. New Farm parkrun is a practical choice for locals and visitors seeking a welcoming, organised way to be active in New Farm, whether they are aiming for a timed 5km or simply joining in at their own pace.
