Frazer said over 300 participants ran in the inaugural event, but numbers fluctuated after that.

The eager runner, who was born and bred in town, had been doing it his whole life and explained why he decided to take on the role.

"I benefited from other people volunteering, so I thought it was my turn to make a contribution and keep facilitating it," Frazer said.

"I love the town and the least I could do was to take on the role.

"The current directors left, so if someone didn't take over, then the event wouldn't have been able to continue."

Goulburn parkrun started in February of 2018 and since then, 2,538 participants covered a total distance of 75,010 km and 2,263 new personal best times were achieved.

The female record is held by Stephanie Torley who recorded a time of 18:32 on October 20, 2018 while the male record is held by Joshua Torley who recorded a time of 15:05 on January 12 the following year.

The Age Grade course record is held by Clare Wall who recorded 93.02 per cent (23:10) on January 18, 2023.

Goulburn parkrun is on every Saturday from 8am at Marsden Weir.
