In this episode of The Good GP, host Dr Tim Koh welcomes Glen Turner, Australia Health Lead of Parkrun Australia, to discuss the global health and social phenomenon that is Parkrun.
As one of the largest weekly 5-kilometre events held in thousands of locations worldwide, Parkrun encourages physical activity, volunteering, and community support. Glenn and Tim delve into the non-competitive and inclusive nature of Parkrun, its relationship with general practitioners through the Parkrun Practices initiative, and the substantial evidence supporting its health benefits for both physical and mental well-being.
They further encourage listeners to participate in Parkrun during the holiday season and share how to find and engage with Parkrun events in their communities.
