Transition and Tribes: Understanding parkrun’s potential to support veteran wellbeing

Invictus Australia has long recognised the opportunity parkrun represents, and through our Community Partnership and the popular Team Veteran parkrun group, veterans and families are introduced to local events that suit their stage of transition and wellbeing goals, to build ongoing connections through community sport.

Now, new peer-reviewed research provides further evidence of why accessible opportunities such as parkrun can play an important role in veteran wellbeing.

Led by researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney, the study was funded by Invictus Australia and developed in partnership with parkrun Australia.
