Thank you to the 121 finishers who joined us this weekend for another fantastic morning of community spirit, personal achievements, and fresh air.

Today's parkrun achieved peak meteorological perfection: everyone crossed the finish line, scanned their barcodes, and packed up the flags within seconds before Melbourne brought in the rain. Talk about outrunning the weather! 😋👟👟👟
