A friendly reminder that we share our beautiful parkrun course with other park users, walkers and cyclists. Staying left is the best way to stay safe.

Tomorrow is looking lovely, being sunny and 19 degrees at 8am before getting hotter throughout the day.

7:45am first timer briefing 👋
7:52am general safety briefing 🗣️
8:00am start 🟢

Our roster for this weekend is looking very bare! Can you put your hand up to help?

Volunteering is:
✅ Fun
✅ Easy
✅ Rewarding

Update: Only photographer (a 'nice to have' role) is now needed. Thanks to everyone who put their hands up!

Rhodes parkrun vollies - 29/8/2026

It lovely a lovely day at Rhodes parkrun today. Lots of visitors here for the Marathon tomorrow. Today, 742 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 162 were first timers and 113 recorded new Personal Bests.

The event was made possible by 32 volunteers:

Ellis LONGHURST • Isao SEINO • Delia HOWARD • Lorraine RUANE • Michael Harry RICHARDSON • Anna RICHARDSON • Charles G. XU • Rick FITZPATRICK • Alex ROGERSON • Mark BOYLE • Sallie RODD • Jacky WANG • Chris CAMERON • Benjamin LAM • Christine NGO • Declan MCMAHON • Sean CHEN • Aly FERNANDEZ • Kristy CHE • Eli NOONAN • Alexia ELL • Simon ELL • Kevin PAN • Winnie ZHU • Jaylin KAN • Sue BURTON • Sushan NEAV • Natalie DEEGAN • Charles ZHANG • Milton MIAO • David WONG • Olivia ZHAO

Thanks to Chris and the team for hand-building a new Token board for the event.

We are all set for Rhodes parkrun on Saturday morning. The volunteer roster is looking healthy - although it would be great to get a couple of extra Token Sorters to help out (please email if you are keen).

We are not sure how the Sydney Marathon bib pickup at the Sydney Showground will affect our numbers (or Wentworth Common parkrun), but please leave plenty of time for parking, just in case.
Mike and Anna
