Tuggeranong parkrun

Tuggeranong parkrun is a free, weekly 5-kilometre community event held at Lake Tuggeranong every Saturday at 8.00am. It is open to people who want to walk, jog, run, volunteer or simply spectate, with no required pace and an emphasis on taking part for enjoyment rather than competition.

The event offers a welcoming way to be active in Tuggeranong, whether you come on your own or join friends. First-time participants need to register before attending and bring a scannable parkrun barcode; without one, a finishing time cannot be recorded. The organisers direct newcomers to the course description before their first visit, so it is worth checking the event details in advance.

Like all parkrun events, Tuggeranong parkrun is organised and delivered by volunteers. That community effort is central to the experience, with regular opportunities to help the event run each week. After the run, participants commonly meet for coffee at Cafe Himalayan Brew near Target inside South.Point. With its free entry, relaxed approach to pace and choice of ways to participate, it suits walkers, runners, supporters and locals looking for a regular Saturday morning activity around Lake Tuggeranong.
