This Saturday we saw a great turnout of runners and walkers, under cool grey skies, but a nice dry track. Well done to all, especially our first timers, milestoners, visitors, and the tu-tu crew!

It was seamless effort by the amazing volunteer team who provided the supportive, inclusive parkrun environment we love. If you'd like to be a community legend like today's peeps, please email us at [email protected] with your parkrun ID.

Little bit late posting this one - What a beautiful morning to be out and about in gorgeous Princes Park for Parkville parkrun this Saturday!🌳

A little over 600 runners, joggers, walkers and most importantly, more than 20 volunteers graced us with their presence to keep you safe and things running smoothly. Thanks to the hi-vis heroes for making it possible once again.

If you'd like to don an epic magenta, dayglo yellow (or even white) vest 🦺- please make yourself known to [email protected] 💟

Oh and as if we have to say it, no stinky fish next week (or ever again) please!
