St Lucia parkrun is a free, weekly 5km community event held every Saturday at 7:00am along the picturesque Brisbane River at the University of Queensland campus in St Lucia, QLD.

Launched on 24 March 2018 with over 800 participants—the largest parkrun launch in Australian history—it has since become a vibrant gathering for walkers, joggers, runners, and volunteers of all ages and abilities.

St Lucia parkrun is renowned for its welcoming, inclusive vibe. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best, walking with a pram, or enjoying a social stroll, everyone is encouraged to participate at their own pace. Dogs on leads and children accompanied by adults are welcome. After the event, many participants gather for a coffee at St Lucy’s Café at the UQ Tennis Centre, fostering a strong sense of community .
