Coulpe days late but don’t worry, we didn’t forget our post event report!

We had six new parkrunners for event 14 and 3 folks new to Mill Creek, including a visitor from the UK 🇬🇧

Better yet, we had 10 new course PBs! That fall weather must be helping 🍂

Thank you to all 🔟 of our volunteers ‼️

We had such a strong volunteer crew we were even able to have park walkers, with their bark walking friends 🐾

Reminder that there are no events for the next two weeks. We resume October 10 and still have room on the volunteer roster so be sure to send us a message if you want to help!

🚨Volunteer spotlight: Andrea Millburn 🚨

This week we celebrate one our volunteers who captures the spirit of parkrun by always showing up with a smile.

Andrea brings the fun to our events—you may have seen her DJing the intersection to cheer on our participants 🎶

Andrea has been a core volunteer since well before our inaugural event and is always willing to support however she can—whether it’s marshalling, being run director or providing organizational support behind the scenes.

When she isn’t volunteering for parkrun, you can catch Andrea at Crave rowing, reading a romance or suspense novel, or hanging out with her doggos Duke and Annie.

Be sure to thank Andrea next time you see her!

We didn’t just have our strongest volunteer roster yet thanks to Legs for Literacy, we also had 15 course PBs, 7 parkrun newcomers, one newcomer to Mill Creek Nature and visitors from Seattle!

Let’s keep the momentum going in event 14!
We have a strong volunteer roster but need a marshal—please send us a message if you’re able to help 🙏

Please note that this will be our last event until October 10 as we have a few event cancellations coming up as the park will be hosting other events.

Big THANK YOU to everyone who showed up for today’s event for the special volunteer takeover by Legs for Literacy.

It was our second biggest turn out ever 🤩

See below for a post event report from Garth Millar, executive director for Legs.

And don’t forget to sign up for the event, held October 2-4, with distances including 5k, 10k, half and full marathon! 🏃‍♂️

***

What started off as a chilly 5 degree morning turned into a beautiful sunny morning and a great temperature for running or walking; even the bugs were not too bad today 🙂

39 runners turned out plus the Board for the Legs for Literacy event (Oct 4 2026) acting as a volunteer take over for today's parkrun event. Thank you for accommodating us.

As always the course is challenging but folks do not seem to mind and enjoyed their run/walk in a beautiful setting with smiles on their faces.

Thank you Mill Creek parkrun and long may you continue to build & grow this event.

🚨 Volunteer Spotlight: Legs for Literacy 🚨

This weekend we have a special volunteer takeover by the fine folks behind Legs for Literacy, one of the premier local running events.

Committee members and race directors will be supporting some of our regular volunteer crew and will be available to answer any of your event questions.

The event is accessible to all, offering distances from 5k all the way to a marathon, alongside a family friendly run/walk. Started by a small group of volunteers in 2000, the event has grown into the largest fall running event in New Brunswick!

Many of the Legs organizers have been parkrun regulars since our inaugural launch—showcasing the importance of supporting each other to enable a vibrant, welcoming and inclusive running community 🏃🏻‍♀️
