Shepparton parkrun

30/05/2026

A very still morning greeted us today and 19 people made the most of pacer week gaining themselves a PB on their 5kms around the lake this morning. We had many visitors today which was fantastic to see and 4 people doing parkrun for the first time. Welcome and we hope to see you again next week. Congratulations to Parker, Sara and Tim on their milestones, special mention to Sara who ran a PB on her Milesotne, gaining entry to the Flashmans club. Congrats also to Jesse on volunteer number 10, and Luke on volunteer number 1. Also included today is a pic of Addison running with her security team..... Go Adds.

Woohoo!!! Another week down and here we are on parkrun eve all ready to go for our 5k ritual in the morning. 7:45 for the first timers briefing, 7:55 for the main brief. Its also pacer week, so if you are interested in pacing give us a yell.... we only have one covered so far at 32.5 minutes.

Last week we had a few reports of runners clipping members of the public as they ran past them, so we would like to remind participants to make sure that you keep left when you are running or walking, and if you need to pass someone, pass on their right, and please give them plenty of clearance. We are not to sole users of the park, and we need to be respectful to other members of the public.

It was great to see the effort some people went to this morning to support the opening of the SAM exhibition, dressing up for the occasion. Thank you to the SAM crew for visiting us this morning and participating in our parkrun but also for the cheer squad they provided as well. We had 225 participants cross the finish line today, 32 of whom obtained a PB in the ideal conditions. We had 11 first timers, of whom 4 were new to parkrun and the remainder were visitors to Shepparton. We had visitors from as far away as New Zealand today. Chris Completed his 500th parkrun, and Brad notched up 200 today. What an achievement. Hope that you have an awesome weekend, and maybe even manage a trip to SAM to check out the Facing Modernity: Dagas to Picasso Exhibition, if not this weekend, one between now and September.

Its friday night and we are left with the question below!!!! Hopefully we will see you in the morning for a run, jog or walk around the lake. 7:45 for the First timers welcome, and 7:55 for the main briefing.

Remember too that tomorrow is also the opening for the new Facing Modernity: Dagas to Picasso exhibition at the SAM building, so why not drop in and check it out. Look out for the SAM superstars as you parkrun around the Lake, Im sure they will have some more information about the exhibition, and maybe a surprise or two as well.
