Sunshine Coast locals laced up their running shoes on Saturday 5 July to celebrate the 100th Harmony Boulevard parkrun – a free, weekly fitness event that has become a Palmview favourite since it launched in 2023.
Backed by Harmony community developer AVID Property Group (AVID), the running event has set a benchmark for active communities and welcomed nearly 2,500 runners who have clocked more than 1,000 personal bests1 on the scenic five-kilometre course.
AVID General Manager Queensland Anthony Demiris said Harmony’s parkrun, part of the established parkrun Australia organisation, is a great example of how well-designed communities can inspire healthy, connected lifestyles.
“It has been exciting to see our parkrun build such a loyal following and create a space for all to enjoy the more than 100 hectares of lush green space our neighbourhood has to offer,” Mr Demiris said.
Harmony Boulevard’s parkrun will mark its second anniversary on Saturday 9 August. Local resident and parkrun Run Director Jo Donohue launched the event to bring community members of all fitness levels together.
“Thanks to AVID’s foundational grant, ongoing promotion and continuous support, Harmony Boulevard parkrun has grown into a vibrant, welcoming weekly tradition that draws locals and visitors from far and wide” Ms Donohue said.
Around 70 participants join the parkrun each Saturday. It is one of many Harmony-sponsored wellness activities, including the neighbourhood’s Heart Foundation Palmview Walk and Talk, Pilates in the Park, and Harmonise Health and Wellness weekly yoga classes.
