Happy parkeun eve!
Looks like we are in for a cool clear morning tomorrow.
Still looking for a marshal and a photographer to fill our roster.
See you in the morning at 6:45am for our pre-start briefing.

** Apologies - I hadn't checked the updated roster. Barcode scanner is covered - thanks Jacqui

Special congratulations also to one of our regular parkrunners, Sally McArthur, who ran an amazing 5 marathons over 5 days last week in Thailand!

We look forward to seeing everyone again next Saturday for a run or walk.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at parkrun.

Unfortunately the oval is closed due to all
the recent rain, so we will need to use our B course.

We already have 3 marshal volunteers, thanks Sally, Bernadine and Annie, but it would be great if we could get a couple more to handle our B course.

Please message below if you would like to help out.

See you all tomorrow just before 7am.

Good evening parkrunners.
We have a full volunteer roster for tomorrow.
Be prepared for those pesky showers hanging around. Hopefully we get enough of a break while we run. We will be doing a wet weather course check, so stay tuned.
See you tomorrow at 6:45am.
