Get more family time and extra 250 Vitality points with parkrun this June!

This June, get the whole family active with some crisp morning air and even more Vitality points to fast-track your way on your Vitality journey! Kids can earn an extra 250 Vitality points when they join you for any parkrun for the entire month of June.

If you’re looking for a safe, easy and free outdoor event to enjoy with the whole family, parkrun is for you. These weekly 5km timed runs and walks are completely free of charge and are open to everyone.

You earn 500 Vitality points for every parkrun you complete and for the entire month of June. Children six years and older (who are dependants on their parents' Discovery Vitality membership) will earn an extra 250 points for completing a parkrun. This means that kids earn 750 Vitality points for every parkrun they complete.

With existing parkrun venues all around the country and new runs and walks starting on a regular basis, make sure you register on www.parkrun.co.za and find a parkrun venue near you. The events take place outdoors on Saturday mornings at 8am and include runners and walkers at every fitness level, so you and the kids can ramp up the speed or stroll as you please.

Remember to link your passport or South African ID number to your parkrun profile when you register:

Click on your parkrun profile (you can access this from your registration mailer, any parkrun newsletter, or any results email that you receive);
Choose the Discovery option, fill in your details and press “Update”; and
Print your unique barcode (you’ll use this each time you run or walk).

After this you and your family can go to any parkrun that you like and run or walk your best time.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to spend quality time with your kids and get extra Vitality points – this June only!
