Mount Barker parkrun

A free, weekly, timed 5k event every Saturday morning at 8am at the Homemaker Centre. Everyone is welcome to walk, run or volunteer.

Mount Barker parkrun is a FREE weekly timed 5km event for runners of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 8am from the Mount Barker Homemaker Centre, approximately 33km east of Adelaide's CBD. 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!

We love our excellent course at Mount Barker and how we get to enjoy and admire the lovely Laratinga wetlands every week.

We also enjoy admiring our parkrunners celebrating milestones. If you have a milestone that you want to celebrate this coming parkrun day let us know here and we’ll happily talk it up here and/or on the day!
