Parkrun attracts health enthusiasts

The weekly Gillooly’s Parkrun attracts people from across the area to join in for some fun, while being healthy at the same time.

The parkrun is held every Saturday at 8am and everyone is welcome to join in for the run.

There is no cost and all runners need to do is register for the run, which only needs to be done once. Once the runner is registered, they can take part.

The run attracts runners from multiple areas, including Johannesburg east, Edenvale and Bedfordview.

The most recent event saw 503 participants taking part.

The recent, inaugural event of the parkrun took place on April 23 and saw 975 runners taking part.
