I really wanted to thank you guys for everything you are. Four years ago I moved out of home for the first time and was severly overweight (120kg) and very isolated living quite a distance from family and friends. When I decided to start getting healthy I heard a parkrun was starting in Tamworth Wetlands…
I always take my plush toy chook on holidays with me. He’s been in the foreground of many mountain and seascape holiday snaps. This Christmas break I decided well why not bring him on my tourist parkruns. We’ve just visited Warrnambool and Port Fairy together and he is a great conversation starter, people…
We decorated the path at Wagi Bridge parkrun today. I wrote smile, and then Jasper added: ‘and care for each other ‘. Come and visit us next week! We would love to see you there. Liesl Codrington
We all come from different backgrounds, at different stages of life, but we all have one thing in common… on Saturday morning we parkrun and then coffee together.

In February 2019 my wife and I introduced my 93-year-old uncle to parkrun and its now his favourite Saturday morning adventure. His home course is North Sydney and they are so accommodating and friendly to Adrian, he even has a coffee afterwards with them and assists with the token sorting. His PB at…
250 parkruns done & dusted. An epic achievement that has taken us 7 years to accomplish. What an incredible journey with my amazing Michael Parry. We have endured runs in the rain, cloud bursts, hail, howling winds, heat waves, freezing winter mornings and still looking forward to one in the snow. 3 Countries,…
Neil Shultz began his running career in his fifties and very shortly afterwards, in September 2014 was introduced to parkrun by two friends he’d met through motorcycle racing. parkrun would become a constant part of his Saturday morning ritual and after an injury forced a halt to his running, Neil then began touring as…
