Kershaw Gardens parkrun is a free, weekly 5km community event held every Saturday at 7am in Rockhampton. Volunteers run the event, and people of all ages and abilities are welcome to walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. The course is mostly flat and welcomes wheelchair athletes, families with prams and people taking part with their dogs.
Recent events have attracted between 171 and 213 participants, with newcomers joining each week. By late 2026, 377 people had completed their first ever parkrun at Kershaw Gardens.
