The volunteer-run parkruns encourage people of all abilities to participate; from walkers to runners of all ages. The family and pet-friendly event takes place every Saturday at 8am along a five-kilometre track. The timed social run is held across the world and is free. An adult must accompany children under 11 years old.

The Newborough parkrun starts in the beautiful Moe Botanic Garden. The course leads to the Moe-Yallourn Rail Trail before turning back to the gardens. The course is run along a mixture of gravel paths, concrete bridges, bitumen paths and grass. During days of inclement weather, such as rain, sections of the course may become muddy and accumulate leaves and puddles after rain. For more information visit http://www.parkrun.com.au/newborough
