It is a free, timed 5km walk or run held Saturday mornings, with all abilities welcome.
The events are not competitive and are open to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
Parkrun started in the UK in 2004, as a means of encouraging people to be active, with a focus on inclusion and wellbeing.
It spread to Australia in 2011, and to Deniliquin via the McLean Beach Parkrun in 2021.
The Deniliquin event is run by volunteers who ensure everyone has a fun time, while providing lots of encouragement.
Walkers are just as welcome as runners, and children under 11 must be accompanied by an adult.
Dogs are also welcome, but the rule is one dog per person on a hand-held, non-retractable lead.
The McLean Beach Parkrun starts at 8am from the start of the Beach to Beach walk, at the end of the McLean Beach car park.
Newcomers are asked to arrive a little earlier, where they will be greeted by a volunteer.
You register once for free on the Parkrun website, and then you can go along to any parkrun in the world on any Saturday morning.
You don’t have to be a runner or walker to benefit from Parkrun. People are welcome to watch the event and have a chat.
