Wyndham Vale parkrun, Event #487
05/09/2026 (the calendar says that it's spring but the postie forgot to bring us the good weather - maybe next week?)

Well done, parkrunners. Sure, the weather might've been rubbish, but you got out there and got it done - I'm proud of you!

The weather couldn't keep us down, as 95 people ran, jogged and walked the course, with a whopping 10 first timers and 3 PBs (including Nate, who sources told me knocked a full minute off his PB!). As an added bonus, no slips - I'll take that as a win.

Huge congrats to our milestones for the week: Keosha (25 parkruns), Ajay (50 parkruns) and Nate (150 parkruns). And to Donna and Harry - hope you've both had wonderful birthdays this week!

Special thanks to our vollies that kept things cool, calm and collected - very fortunate to have them around and am grateful for their help each week:

Mark MALONEY • Tricia WATERS • Andrew MCKINLEY • Kathryn WILLIAMS • Daryl SMITH • John SMITH • Vicki SMITH • Murali Krishna SAKAVARAPU • Kevin GREEN • Devipriya SELVARAJ • Zi MKWANANZI • Jessica KORTEMAN • Viyan KARTHIKEYAN • Josh YOUNG • Percy WRIGHT

Today's full results and a complete event history can be found on both the parkrun website (https://www.parkrun.com.au/wyndhamvale/results/latestresults/) and the App (if you don't know what an app is, ask the parkrunner next to you next week).

Wyndham Vale parkrun started on 20th February 2016. Since then 6,674 participants have completed 55,998 parkruns covering a total distance of 279,990 km, including 8,337 new Personal Bests. A total of 603 individuals have volunteered 6,375 times.

We'll see you next week for pacers, The Athlete's Foot, and hopefully a bit nicer weather...

It's official, the AFL finals start tonight!

It's been interesting seeing the comments about wild card round last weekend, was it the start of the finals? Or was it the last chance for teams to get into the finals, what are your thoughts?

Who do you think will win this weekend? Who do you think will win the Grand Final?

The winner will receive a lifetime pass to parkrun worldwide! 🤣🤣🤣

Happy parkrunning and good luck to those teams who have to wait until 2027 to try again.

The Athletes Foot are coming back to Wyndham Vale parkrun next Saturday, 12th September, to showcase 4 Brooks Runners - Glycerin, Glycerin GTS 23, Ghost Max 4 (new release) and Ghost Trail.

As it's our pacer week, there is no better time to trial a new pair of runners, you never know, it could get you that PB!

Thank you for supporting parkrun !

Happy parkrunning 👟👟👟

Bonus fact for the week - did you know that if you were to put all the parkruns done on Saturday back-to-back, you'd get a parkrun relay stretching all the way to Bathurst parkrun in New South Wales - located a whopping 802km from the Wyndham Vale start line.

That's pretty nifty!
