TRAINING TIPS

We want you to feel fully prepared by the time you step onto the course. Different event distances will require specific types of training, therefore we recommend pacing yourself in your training and giving yourself ample time to work towards your goal. We have put together the perfect 8 week training plan for the Parklands Running Festival and the Parramatta 10k using Training peaks:

VOLUNTEERING

We are always on the lookout for volunteers on race day to help out with course marshalling and registration. It’s a great way to experience the buzz of race day without having to tie up the laces. In addition to being amongst the energy of the race, Race Hub Australia are delighted to offer volunteers a number of benefits as a way of saying thank you for your time. Find more info below.
