Of course parkrun simply doesn't happen without volunteers. Thank you to our amazing volunteer team who gave up their time this morning so that everyone else could enjoy their Saturday morning 5km.

A friendly reminder that all children under 11 must remain within arm's length of a parent or guardian for the entire event. We noticed quite a few children running independently today, so please help us keep everyone safe by following this important parkrun policy.
Finally, as we celebrate 600 events at Berwick Springs parkrun, we want to acknowledge every participant, volunteer, Run Director and supporter who has been part of our journey. Over 600 Saturdays, you've helped create an amazing community that welcomes everyone, regardless of age, ability or pace.
Thank you for making Berwick Springs parkrun what it is today.
Here's to the next 600 events! ❤️
See you all next Saturday for the best start to anyone's weekend.
