141,000 first timers. This is what Active Living looks like.
Since becoming a parkrun partner, Lorna Jane has helped welcome 141,000 women to their very first parkrun - 15,000 of whom had never run before. That's not a statistic. That's a movement. Together, we've supported over 612,000 unique participants across Australia and New Zealand, with female participation growing 17% year on year. Fifty-eight new events have launched. Hundreds of thousands of volunteer occasions have made it all possible. Because we've always believed that when women move, everything changes and parkrun is proof.
Active Nation Day 2024
On Saturday, the 28th of September, we celebrated our annual Active Nation Day in partnership with parkrun. This year’s event was particularly special as we united not just to get active, but also to raise crucial funds for Women's Community Shelters.
Rain or shine, parkrunners across Australia and New Zealand came together to show their support for this important cause.
We are thrilled to announce that Lorna Jane will be donating $76,714 to Women's Community Shelters!
This generous donation will significantly impact Women’s Community Shelters by helping to provide essential services such as:
Crisis Accommodation: Offering safe and secure temporary housing for women and children fleeing domestic violence or homelessness
Support Services: Providing access to counselling, legal advice, and resources that empower women to regain independence
Emergency Funds: Assisting with immediate needs like food, clothing, and transportation, ensuring that families have the basics while they transition to stable housing
Thank you to the Lorna Jane and parkrun community for joining us. We hope you enjoyed celebrating Active Nation Day with us at parkrun! Be sure to check out some of our favourite photos from the day!
