Myponga Reservoir Parkrun

The Myponga Parkrun has been brought to life by a band of enthusiastic volunteers with support from Parkrun Australia and support from the District Council of Yankalilla.

Since we have begun, our Parkrun team has seen every kind of weather imaginable. The always picturesque course has demonstrated many different types of ‘beautiful’ as we have watched the water level rise and puddles form.

The Course at Myponga reservoir would always be described as trail style run with the track being made of gravel. Throughout winter the adventure was brought to a higher level with some of the tracks resembling a mud pit that reacted like an ice rink on impact! Nevertheless, the route has proven to be loved by many with its challenging hills and amazing views. It is a pretty great way to start your weekend!

What is Parkrun?

Parkruns are free, weekly, community events all around the world on Saturday morning at 8 am taking place in parks and open spaces.

Parkrun is a positive, welcoming, and inclusive experience where there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along, whether you WALK, jog, run, VOLUNTEER, or spectate. There is no pressure to be a runner!
