Sky River Path parkrun, Event number 67 – 6th June, 2026.

Today 44 people ran, jogged and walked on a cool but dry morning!

Well done to visitor Jayden who was our first finisher, and under 10 Eve, who was our first female finisher!

After a run of milestones over the last few weeks, there were no official milestones today, but we did have an unofficial 10th volunteer milestone for Catriona!

We had two first timers to parkrun today - Welcome Oli and Freya! We had quite a few tourists here today visiting from Brisbane, Bathurst and Tamworth. We hope you enjoyed your morning with us.

Well done to six people who achieved personal bests today!

Thanks to those pitching in for next weeks volley roster, as all of the essential roles are filled already. We do have plenty of spots on the coming weeks though, please reach out if you are able to take on a role.

The event was made possible by 12 volunteers: Martin Rehwinkel, Rebecca Prescott, May Fleming, Flo Cloud, Zachary Craig, George Carter, Leanne McWhirter, Catriona Pascoe, Tammy Rehwinkel, Ariana Hayes, Chris Hayes, Kalyna Sparks

It looks like tomorrow will be dry and cold! But nothing will warm you better than a Sky River Path parkrun at 7:45am at Neilson Park Coonabarabran!

Sorry, there were no takers for pacing tomorrow, so everyone will have to go it alone!

Please let the RD know if you will be celebrating a milestone.

First timers, please register for parkrun at www.parkrun.com.au/register. Remember you can grab a volunteer spot in the coming weeks by emailing to [email protected]; reply to this post; add your name to the volley board on Saturday; or send us a direct message!

We have had a few responses, but we still need one more volunteer for scanning (or timekeeper). Scanning can be done by a fast runner!

Also, are there any takers for pacer positions? You don't have to fast for pacing, just consistent!

If you can help out with volley roles or would like to have a go at pacing, please email to [email protected]; reply to this post; or send us a direct message.
