Global and National Leaders to Explore Active Communities’ Impacts

Exploring if more active communities means more people will recreate and participate in community sport has long been a question for government, peak bodies and sport. Research shows globally that a shift started years ago with participants looking for more than just competitive and developmental opportunities within sports clubs. In Australia, the number one participation activity is running, which according to AusPlay attracts 4.17 million people (over 15), compared to Athletics Australia’s membership of approximately 60,000. Parkrun has nearly one million plus registered people in their organised weekly runs. Not forgetting an estimated one million plus who participate in fun runs, but are not members of an athletics club. So is the opportunity not being converted or do we need to seriously rethink how the industry is resourced and funded?
