Avondale University College parkrun

16/06/2026

Afternoon parkrunners, walkers and volunteers... it has been a while since our roster has been so bare, so we are hoping you can help out this Saturday and the coming weeks. This Saturday we are in need of the following:
Timekeeper
Finish Tokens (Handing them Out)
Barcode Scanner
Marshall
Photographer (Nice to have but not as necessary as the above)

Please feel free to message, reply or email us at AUC and we will add you to the roster.

Don't forget all vollies receive a free drink from Watagan Cafe (great way to warm up and chat with friends post event)

Yesterday was our 245th event.
Thank you to the runners, joggers/walkers that came along on a very foggy June morning.

We saw 77 complete our beautiful course with 5 new PBs set and 10 first timers to AUC parkrun, including 1 doing their very first parkrun. We hope you all enjoyed your morning and our beautiful course - and we hope to see you all again sometime soon !

Thank you to our fabulous volunteers:
* Lynda BELL
* Greg COWLEY
* Tania LYDDIARD
* Char MCALLISTER
* Mike Lakeview SCOTT
* Russell WOLD
Without our wonderful volunteers we can’t run each week.

We have a lot of vacancies of the coming weeks. Please put your hand up to help out at a future event if you can. All roles are straightforward and training and support will be provided. Please shoot us a message if you can help out.

Run #245 will proceed tomorrow, weather permitting 😀👍🏃🏃‍♀️
BUT ....
We still have NO-ONE to take on the Timekeeper role.
This will mean that all runners and walkers will receive a 59:59 time.
Unless there is late good samaritan to be your Timekeeper. 🤞⏱️😀
COULD THAT BE YOU?!
Drop us a response to this message or come and see the Run Director early in the morning if you can assist.

This July, our Ed’s Dee and Jason and fellow RD’s Kristy and Matt with 3 friends from Canberra will be hiking the Great North Walk from Newcastle to Sydney under the guise of the Long March South. They will be raising funds for Veterans Welfare with 2 Veterans Health Organisations receiving the funding. To help raise funds a local filmmaker producer director actor Lochlan McIlveen is screening his award winning film at Wangi Wangi RSL on 14th May at 7pm. Cost to attend is a $5 donation. The film screens for 1.5 hours so will be wrapped up by 830pm.

Come along and join us to help this worthwhile cause. You may even recognise some of the locals who appear on screen…..

Note - recommended for Mature audiences
