parkrun has the option of holding additional events on Christmas Day and New Years Day, and we need your help to decide if Sky River Path should run either or both events.

Just remember that both Christmas day and NYD are on Friday’s, so the normal Saturday events will run on the days after.

It will be simple, if you are keen for either, please reply in the comments:-

🎁 “Christmas day – yes + Run or Volunteer”
And/or
🎊 “NYD – yes + Run or Volunteer”

Alternatively, please email to [email protected], or send us a direct message!

To get the ball rolling Bec is keen to RD on Christmas Day and Marty on NYD!

If we have enough to fill the Volly roster and at least 10 runners then we will lock it in!

🎉 A VERY SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO TRISHA! 🎉

This week, Trisha Tighe reached a HUGE milestone — 50 volunteer credits! 🥳

That’s 50 times she’s shown up, helped out, wrangled runners, supported the event and generally contributed to making Sky River Path parkrun the wonderfully chaotic community that it is.

And in true Trisha fashion… she managed to escape BOTH Event Directors before we could properly congratulate her. 😂

Congratulations, Trisha! ❤️

50 volunteer milestones and counting!
We’re very lucky to have you as part of the Sky River path crew. 🏃‍♀️✨
