𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬:
① Cooks River parkrun is not running next weekend, 24 October, while our course is being used for I RUN the RIVER
② Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. The weekend after (31 October) is Halloween! Run/walk in a costume... if you dare
③ The weekend after THAT (7 November) is our junior takeover. We're still looking for some young volunteers to help with barcode scanning and sorting, and a photographer would be great too!

Congratulations Isra on reaching your 50 parkruns!

Congratulations Kelly, one of our event directors, who inspires us all with her love of running, parkrun and volunteering, her adventurous spirit, and her warmth, generosity, friendliness and welcoming smile. A true quiet leader who today added the blue 500 parkruns milestone to her incredible achievements.
