parkrun's Tim Oberg is ready to help get kids running
Do you know the story of how parkrun ended up in Australia? Or that dogs used to be registered to run? Or that Australia has made it our own? Neither did we until we caught up with parkrun Australian's founder, Tim Oberg. Tim was the person who brought largest free running activity to Australia and grew it to what it is today. And now he's ready to help kids find a love of moving their body through the RAD Run Club.
On any given Saturday morning, around 6,000 Australians volunteer to ensure parkrun runs smoothly and we would like to shout out this amazing community contribution this National Volunteers Week. Thank you for being the heart and soul of this regular cultural event.
AND! If you'd like to learn the Active Industries First Start Traineeship Program ($20k to bring on a staff member for your club? Yes please!) or head to Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance.
