Runners and walkers of all ages can register at Presidents Park before the run/walk – get there with your phone and parkrun members will help.
Bring your loved ones for some healthy fun and meet new people. Those who can’t walk or run can always go to the event as volunteers – all are welcome.
Springs parkrun is hosting a Valentines themed parkrun this Saturday.
“Bring your Valentine and wear something red for the run,” says event director Marius Jonker.
