Beautiful morning and a good turnout!

Today's Cleland parkrun #419 was a study in contrasts compared to last week's rain, wind, and cold. A glorious clear and warm day, with large numbers of kangaroos grazing on the side of the track, and even a koala. A very fast for Cleland 19:03 by our first finisher, one of 3 PB's for the day. 12 of the 46 participants were first timers. Congratulations to our Tail Walker for his 300th parkrun finish today!

Unfortunately it rained sideways so hard at the end of last week's parkrun that the volunteer whiteboard got wiped clean. Could anyone who volunteered please let me know, because I only have records of those who were already on the board from the previous week (Paul on tail and Alison on photos). Otherwise we're very light-on for volunteers next Saturday. 😞

Thanks everyone!

Rain affected results from today’s very wet parkrun have now been posted below.
All have been fixed and Hopefully they’re all as they should be. Thankyou Andrew for putting in an afternoon’s effort and sorting it all out. 👍
Let us know if you seem to have run twice as fast as you should have!!!
See you next week!

Just a little wet at Cleland parkrun this morning, but always worth the effort!
Well done to all those who braved the cold wet rain.
The wicker (aka quicker) you were, the less wet you got. Photos show the story!

Beautiful morning to celebrate Andrew Rose’s 500th parkrun and our ED Hamish’s birthday and 200th Cleland parkrun. Congratulations to both! 🎉🎂

Great job by all runners, with the tail walker arriving within the hour; and thanks to the volunteers, urn-bringers and cake-bakers.

(Who collectively made up for the ED who left the vollie bibs in her clothes dryer and dropped another batch of freshly-baked brownies in the Cleland mud before anyone even got a slice… 🤦‍♀️)

Welcome to Rohan, doing his first-ever parkrun (and apologies for not giving you a shout-out at the start) and to the 10 other Cleland first-timers, including Daniel, who was second across the line on only his fourth parkrun! Congratulations to Gavin on a new PB. 👏
