Moora parkrun
Event #440
14th March 2026
parkrunday, our favourite day of the week and what a great morning. It was wonderful to see a wide variety of regulars and tourists, join us for a morning of activity and socialisation. It’s what parkrun is all about.
Huge thanks to the following 10 wonderful volunteers who were eager to help today and ran a smooth event:
• Kylie HALL • Peter HALL • Mitchell GREEN • Paul GILMORE • Ailsa STONEHOUSE • Catherine BARNES • Michelle GREEN • Michelle PAGE • Rachel CHRISTIAN • Rodney GLOSSOP
Special shoutout to Kylie and the team for all their hard work and enthusiasm for providing a regular Saturday morning opportunity to parkrun. Moora is well known for being a super friendly parkrun and this morning was no exception.
In total we had 24 people walk, jog and run the course, including two police officers who in their words ‘were just trying to stay busy and keep things interesting’ by taking turns to carry a 40kg log during their 5km walk. One officer, Paul was even Tail Walker!
Special welcome to our 6 first time visitors to Moora; Greg Edwards, Jeremy Beauglehole, Nick Frauendorf, Derek Scurry, Alison Cooke, and Nigel Evans. Thanks for joining us this morning.
Well done to the following 5 people who recorded a new PB; Josh Page, Michelle Green, Chaylee Glossop, and Michelle Page, Gemma Page. All 5 runners are part of the Woosha’s Warriors Social Running Club who were out in force today, visiting from Perth and here for the Moora Triathlon tomorrow.
From a tourist perspective, I always enjoy my visit to Moora and staying in the adjacent caravan park. It has to be the closest I’ve slept to the parkrun start line. You provide a great social atmosphere and have a wonderful local cafe for the ever important post parkrun coffee, breakfast and chat.
Best of luck to all those doing the triathlon tomorrow.
