Cold starts? No problem ❄️

Some Saturday mornings call for a little extra. The parkrun parkwrap is a soft, lightweight buff that goes with you from the car park to the finish line, and keeps going long after.

Wear it as a neck warmer, headband, beanie, or face cover. However the morning calls for it, the parkwrap adapts. Seamless, breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, it works as hard as you do, without the fuss.

Machine washable. No ironing needed. Just grab and go. And every purchase helps keep parkrun free, forever!

parkrun milestone...
You've probably heard us mention parkrun (which can also be parkwalk!) as a way of getting exercise, while enjoying nature and community. This past weekend saw the 1,000,000th parkrun event take place. It's an impressive milestone, but we're even more excited about the first-timers. Our full staff (minus Margaret, on leave) joined Heather on her first event. We'd love to have you join us next week!

Youth Day reminds us that young people are not only the future of our communities – they are actively shaping them today.

Across South Africa, young people are stepping up at parkrun events as marshals, barcode scanners, timekeepers and volunteers. Every Saturday morning, they give their time, energy and enthusiasm to help create safe, welcoming events where people of all ages can come together to walk, jog, run, volunteer and connect.

Their contribution goes far beyond filling a volunteer role. They are building confidence, developing leadership skills, forming friendships and making a positive impact in their local communities. Each high-five, encouraging word and scanned barcode helps create the parkrun experience that thousands enjoy every week.

This Youth Day, we celebrate the young people who are helping parkrun communities grow, one Saturday at a time. Thank you for your passion, your commitment and the difference you make. 💚

What a day of courage, determination and unforgettable moments! 💛🖤

A huge congratulations to every Comrades Marathon runner who chased a goal, conquered a challenge, or simply refused to give up. Whether you earned a medal, achieved a personal best, or crossed the finish line with a smile, your achievement is something to be proud of.

To the supporters, volunteers, families and friends lining the route – thank you. Your cheers, encouragement and energy helped carry thousands of runners all the way to the finish.

From all of us at parkrun South Africa, well done and congratulations. We can't wait to welcome you back to parkrun when you're ready for your next Saturday morning adventure! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉
