Secunda parkrun

Hi Parkrunners!

Please note that Secunda parkrun will be closed this Saturday 20 June 2026 due to the TWK MP MTB for schools event. 🚴‍♂️

But don’t worry — let’s keep the parkrun spirit alive by joining Terra Nova parkrun as they celebrate their 100th event! 🎉🎊

It’s the perfect chance to support another parkrun family, share in their milestone, and enjoy a Saturday morning together. 💚

We’ll be back and open again on Saturday, 27 June 2026. ✅

South African ultramarathon star Gerda Steyn claimed victory in the women’s race at the 2026 Comrades Marathon, securing a historic fifth title overall and a fourth consecutive win.

Steyn dominated the 85.777km Up Run from Durban to Pietermaritzburg, crossing the finish line in an outstanding time.
