2026 Healthy Darwin Dry Season
---
Run A Healthy Darwin Activity
Do you currently run, or are you interested in running, a low-cost activity or program that promotes healthy lifestyles?
This is your chance to be part of a community program helping build Darwin into an active and healthy place to live.
The Healthy Darwin program offers a range of group exercise sessions, workshops and short courses across Darwin to help our community live a healthy lifestyle. It runs all year round in two 6-month programs, Dry Season (April-September) and Wet Season (October-March). Each season consists of the Weekly Activities program (around 8-10 physical activities that run at the same day/time/location each week across the six months) and the Healthy Lifestyle Workshops & Short Courses program (a range of limited or one-off special activities).
Activities and workshops, where possible, make use of Darwin's community facilities and open spaces, and are subsidised by City of Darwin to ensure participants only pay a small fee.
The Healthy Darwin team invites service providers who deliver healthy lifestyle programs or activities, that meet the eligibility criteria, to apply to be part of this innovative, community-based program.
Some examples of activities that have been included in past programs:
• Weekly group fitness classes - boxing, boot camp, Zumba, yoga & Pilates, HIIT (high intensity interval training), aqua, seniors balance and resistance
• Health and nutrition sessions - cooking workshops, supermarket tours, walk & talk all things food, healthy lifestyle education sessions
• Workshops & Short Courses - meditation & breathing, cardio tennis, HIT cricket, running skills, swimming stroke correction, mobility & flexibility, mums & bubs belly dancing
