City of Casey is partnering with parkrun to launch the KM Reedy Reserve parkrun in Hampton Park on Saturday 12 January.

This will be the fifth parkrun to come to Casey and is a great opportunity for residents to get some exercise at their local sporting reserve and meet like-minded people.

Join in the festivities from 7.30 am, including a warm-up hosted by YMCA staff.

Both new and experienced runners and walkers are encouraged to come down.

Parkrun is open to people of all ages and fitness abilities and is the perfect introduction to running.

The five-kilometre course is also open to people with dogs, however joggers with animals are encouraged to start the course at the back of the group.
