🎶 I believe I can fly… 🎶

Looking through today’s photos, apparently quite a few of you can.

Our photographer somehow managed to catch an impressive number of Riverbank parkrunners with both feet off the ground this morning.

So here they are Riverbank’s brief moments of flight. ✈️

Have a look through and see if you made the airborne collection.

Another good crowd at Riverbank this morning, with 77 people making their way around the course and 10 volunteers making sure it all happened.

There were a few milestones to celebrate this week.

🎉 Daniel completed his 100th parkrun and somehow managed to throw in a new PB as well.

🎉 Truong reached parkrun number 25.

🎉 And Matilda completed her 10th parkrun, earning the junior 10 milestone.

Well done all three.

👋 FIRST TIMERS

We had 11 people visiting Riverbank for the first time today.

For Melissa and Roxanna, it was an even bigger first, their first parkrun anywhere. Welcome to parkrun. Hopefully we’ll see you back for number two.

We also welcomed Anthony, Steve, Sidney, Justin, Megan, Michelle, Wendy, Jane and Anne to Riverbank for the first time. Thanks for making us part of your Saturday morning.

⚡ PERSONAL BESTS

It was a good morning for PBs, with 14 people recording a new best at Riverbank.

Well done to Orlando, Daniel, Jaxon, Harriette, Dominic, Brett, Jackson, Fiona, Lynn, Caroline, Laura, Megan, Stephen and Lucy.

🧡 THANKS VOLUNTEERS

Thanks to Benjamin, Brad, Allison, John, Andrew, Kelly, Tania, Mackenzie, Lauren and Michael for putting today’s event on.

And a quick look at the volunteer board shows the next few weeks are already filling up nicely. Thanks to everyone who has put their name down, it makes a huge difference knowing we have plenty of help lined up.

We also had three Unknowns in the results this week. If you crossed the line but don’t see your name in the results, get in touch with the Riverbank team and we can have a look.

📩 A quick note on results emails, there seems to be a delay in the parkrun system today. They’ve been trickling out since around midday, so if yours hasn’t arrived yet, be patient. It should be on the way.

Thanks to everyone who came along this morning.

See you back at the park next Saturday.

We love seeing your parkrun moments captured through the lens of Volunteer Photographers! 📸

However, if you prefer not to be in photos at parkrun, it's no problem at all!

If you see a Volunteer Photographer at parkrun and don't want them to capture you, simply cross your arms over your chest or face when you pass to indicate your preference. 🌳

🦺 Young volunteers are welcome at parkrun! 🦺

We love seeing children and young people getting involved in volunteering. It's a great way to be part of the community, build confidence and earn volunteer credits.

Here's a quick guide to help everyone volunteer safely:

🧒 Children aged 4–10

* Must be capable of the role they're doing.

* Need to volunteer close to their parent, carer or another adult chosen by their parent.

👦👧 Young people aged 11–17

* Must be capable of the role they're doing.

* Can volunteer without their parent right beside them. They do still need to be within easy walking or shouting distance of a responsible adult volunteer so they can get help quickly if needed. On our course, this means some roles will still require their parent, carer or another adult chosen by their parent to volunteer alongside them, such as marshalling, parkwalking and tailwalking.

* If they're trying a new role for the first time, it can also be helpful for their parent, carer or another adult chosen by their parent to volunteer alongside them.

If you're volunteering together, please remember to provide us with the names and parkrun IDs of both the child and their supporting adult.

If you're unsure which volunteer role would suit your child, just send us a message or have a chat with the Run Director after the event.

We'd love to help them get involved!
