You Yangs parkrun

You Yangs parkrun You Yangs parkrun is a FREE, timed, 5K, run/walk put on by the community for the community at 8am every Saturday at the You Yangs, Victoria

parkrun is not a race against other runners, but a 5km timed run, jog or walk. It can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan. You Yangs parkrun offers an opportunity for all members of our local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy the beautiful You Yangs and get physically active in the process. W

e want to encourage people to walk, jog or run together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE! Taking part is easy – just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun event. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there!

Thank you to all the parkrunners who joined us for a slightly chilly You Yangs parkrun – 75 of you chose to come along and walk or run 5 km at event #419.

The following parkrunners volunteered to host You Yangs parkrun this weekend. Our deep thanks to: Anne, Ashley, David, John, Julie, Leanne, Lorraine, Michele and Steve.

It’s National Volunteer Week, so we’d also like to thank the 86 people who have volunteered over the last 12 months and all 381 volunteers who have supported us since our first event back in 2016.

A few notable mentions this week:
⭐️ Three cheers to the newest members of milestone clubs, Hugo (10 parkruns) and Eliza (50 parkruns).
⭐️ Welcome to Timothy, who was a parkrun first timer, and to the 20 parkrunners who joined us at You Yangs parkrun for the first time, including visitors from Bendigo, Ballarat and Tasmania.
⭐️ Very well done to the 11 parkrunners who improved their You Yangs personal best time this week.

You can find the full results from today at https://www.parkrun.com.au/youyangs/results/419/ .

We'll be back in TWO weeks’ time for another free, fun, and friendly weekly 5km community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it's up to you.
