parkrun Australia and “feel good Mex’’ chain Zambrero have entered a one-year partnership, aimed at promoting healthy customised meals and supporting Zambrero’s Plate 4 Plate initiative to stop world hunger.
As part of the partnership, parkrun participants will be eligible for ‘buy one get one free’ offers on Saturdays, by showing evidence of their parkrun volunteer or result in-store using their email or the 5k app.
Founded in Canberra in 2005 by Dr Sam Prince, Zambrero was built on the idea that food should make people feel good personally and socially, and for every burrito or bowl sold, a meal is donated to someone in need. More than 100 million meals have been donated over the past 20 years.
Zambrero’s menu is made fresh and can be customised from protein-rich to plant-based options. It caters for an array of dietary requirements, with all meals able to be made vegan and vegetarian, as well as free of gluten,soy beans, eggs, milk, peanuts and tree nuts.
Zambrero’s support of parkrun will help cover the costs of delivering free, weekly parkrun events, including equipment, technology, and volunteer support, so parkrun can remain free, for everyone, forever.
parkrun Asia Pacific Managing Director Renee Gimbert said the support of partners was vital to the growth and success of parkrun.
“With 537 parkruns taking place around Australia and many more in the pipeline over the next year, Zambrero’s support will help parkrun extend to more places and connect more communities.
Zambrero CEO Daryl McCormack said he was delighted to be supporting parkrun.
“Zambrero and parkrun are a natural fit. We’re both focused on bringing people together around healthy choices and strong local communities.’’
