What a way to celebrate our 50th event — it was a SEA OF RED!

A cool but calm morning on the lake weather-wise, and so great to have visitors joining us from Ballarat, Inverleigh, Bannockburn and beyond.

We also had a fantastic turnout of new participants ! It was wonderful to have you along and we hope to see you back again soon. 👏

Thank you, Lake Colac parkrun community, for making 50 events so special. Here’s to the next 50! 🥳

50 Volunteer Milestones!

A big congratulations to Jon Varney and Liam Power, who both reached their 50 Volunteer milestone at Lake Colac parkrun today.

Week after week, these two quietly get the job done, helping make parkrun happen for everyone. Whether it’s as Run Director or filling one of the many volunteer roles, they’re always happy to step up.

Thanks for your time, reliability and commitment to our parkrun community. We really appreciate everything you do.

Well done, Jon and Liam! 👏
