The Baxter parkrun is a free, weekly, 5km event that is open to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or experience.

The Baxter parkrun is the most westerly parkrun in Australian and thus features in the parkrun Compass Challenge. The event was founded on 17 December 2022.

• Participants can run, jog or walk the course
• It is free to participate, but registration is required
• It is organised by volunteers
