An important reminder to all of our parkrunners. We share the path with everyone in our wonderful community. Keeping left, sharing the path and being courteous to everyone out on the path are essential.

At today’s parkrun a member of the public was abused by a parkrunner. This is incredibly disappointing and is not the environment that we want to be creating. That kind of behaviour is not acceptable and we have recorded an official incident regarding it.

Many thanks to our Timekeeper Cherin, who was new to timekeeping this week and has written the following report for us:

Saturday 10 October 2026

New Farm parkrun welcomed another wonderful gathering of walkers, joggers and runners on Saturday, with the warm weather setting the scene for a morning of movement, connection and community.

From the timekeeper’s position at the finish line, there was a steady stream of participants making their way through, highlighting how busy the finish area can become as everyone approaches the end of their parkrun.

The flow of participants near the finish line serves as a timely reminder of the importance of safety on the course, particularly in busier areas where congestion can increase the risk of trips and injuries. Being mindful of those around us and allowing enough space helps everyone move through comfortably. After all, parkrun is a run, not a race. Whether walking with friends or jogging towards the finish, everyone can enjoy the event at their own pace, with a little patience and consideration helping to create a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Thank you to all participants for being part of another morning at New Farm, and to the volunteers who generously gave their time to make the event possible. Every contribution helps keep parkrun running week after week.

We look forward to seeing participants and volunteers again next Saturday for another New Farm parkrun.

— Cherin LEE, Volunteer
