The sunshine returned and so did our participants. We had 873 finishers and 38 volunteers at our today, our largest ever September attendance. We even had a few genuine Americans come along who were visiting for the NFL. Not quite as many tourists as when the Rugby Lions or the Cricket Ashes tours were on.

Results are online and in your inboxes, link below.

We'd still love a few more volunteers in the finish funnel. If we can get some of them, we'd then also like to add another barcode scanner. Please let us know if you can help by commenting, messaging or email ([email protected]).

Please continue to be aware of the ducklings and cygnets. Give them space, don't get close and don't separate families. 🦆 🦢

We’re still a long way short of the number of volunteers we need to safely put on our event tomorrow. If you haven’t volunteered for a while or not at all, tomorrow would be a great time to try. All our roles are fun and easy. In particular we still need about 10 more marshals for our finish funnel and ideally a photographer.

If you can help, please comment, message or email us ([email protected]).

Here is a new word: connecsercise - the art of connecting with your community while engaging in exercise. I heard it on a parkrun, of course.

In event no. 705 there were 481 finishers and 45 marvelous volunteers. Well done to everyone. There were 146 first timers comprising 120 first-time visitors from other parkruns and 26 finishers completing their first-ever parkrun. 32 people recorded personal bests. Representatives of 42 different clubs took part.

Congratulations to Kevin DAVID on volunteering for the 25th time. Kevin is a volunteer hero who volunteers more often than he runs or walks. He has volunteered in 6 different roles, marshal and funnel manager being the two most prolific. Thank you Kevin for your valuable contribution to Albert Melbourne parkrun.

A huge thank you to 8 marvelous first-time volunteers at Albert Melbourne, all of whom volunteered for the first time at any parkrun. You all made an essential contribution to the smooth running of this event and we invite you to volunteer again at future events.

Congratulations to Gustavo FRANCO and Marco MACHILLANDA who achieved the 50 parkrun milestone.

Congratulations to Dawid MOUTON who achieved the 25 parkrun milestone.

Congratulations to Sid on completing 10 parkruns - a terrific achievement for a junior parkrunner.

Congratulations to all milestone achievers. We encourage you to celebrate by placing your name on the volunteer roster soon to support future milestone achievers.

Well done to all walkers, runners, spectators and volunteers. Everyone is welcome at parkrun.

We had 481 finishers and 45 volunteers at our today. That’s our smallest attendance this year and the first time we’ve been under 500 finishers since November 2025. To the ~400 people who stayed in bed: we hope you enjoyed your sleep in. The rain actually stopped just before 8am.

Results are online and in your inboxes, link below.

A huge thanks to the members of the Crosbie Crew who volunteered today. Check them out if you’d like to improve your running.

Many of our volunteers at tomorrow will be from the Crosbie Crew. If you are interested in running, have a chat with them!
