New Years Day Colour parkrun at Bargara

Starting the year with a bit of movement and a lot of colour is a good way to set the tone for the months ahead. Bargara parkrun is marking New Year's Day with a colour-themed event at Nielsen Beach, and families and friends are invited to come along.

The New Years Day Colour parkrun is on Friday 1 January 2027 at Nielsen Beach, Bargara, and is expected to run for about an hour and a half. Participants are encouraged to bring a big splash of colour or dress up in an inflatable outfit, so the first day of 2027 is as bright and fun as possible. The organisers are also encouraging people to bring the whole family and their friends along. Parkrun is a community event that welcomes people of all ages and abilities, so there's no pressure to run fast, and walking is just as welcome. Check the Bargara parkrun Facebook page for the start time and any further updates on the day.

New Year's Day events give people a chance to start the year with something active, and doing it as a group can make it easier to get out of bed and get moving. For kids, dressing up in bright colours or an inflatable costume can make exercise feel more like a party than a workout. For parents and carers, it's a relaxed way to get outdoors together and meet other local families, without needing to plan a big day out. It can also be the start of a regular habit, with the same community back at the beach each week.
