An important message for parkrun

We've recently been made aware of some behaviour that doesn't reflect the values of our parkrun community.

1. Sharing the path

We share the path with members of the public and need to give way to them where appropriate. We have no more right to use the path than they do. We want community members to feel positively about parkrun and feel welcome to join us.

2. Respecting our volunteers

Any rudeness towards our volunteers is unacceptable. They give up their time each week so that we can all participate.

We are immensely proud of how friendly and welcoming Gawler parkrun is. We're grateful that members of our community care enough to bring concerns to our attention when something doesn't seem right.

Jade and I are always happy to hear from anyone who would like to have a conversation.

Have a great week ahead!

Patawalonga River Event 280. This beautiful clear cool morning we were joined by 189 happy parkrunners. We welcomed visitors from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿( Manchester and Devon) as well as interstate parkrunners from Sydney and Melbourne and other local parkruns 🤩

Congratulations to all our runners and especially our UK participant celebrating his 💯 th run!

Most of all, thank you to our wonderful volunteer team. We are still looking to complete our volunteer roster for Boxing Day (26th Dec), 1st and 2nd January, so that we can get those extra special holiday parkruns in!

Please message us via our email address [email protected], or this page if you'd like to volunteer or find out how you can help.

We're always happy to meet new volunteers and help get you started on building those volunteer credits!

Have a great weekend. See you at parkrun next week!

Time to get into the Halloween spirit! Come dressed up in your spookiest, funniest or most creative costume and join us for a frightfully fun parkrun!

We still need:

Our volunteers are what keep parkrun going each week, so if you can lend a hand, please get in touch. All roles are easy, and we’d love to have you join our fantastic volunteer team!

See you Saturday… if you dare!
