Thank you for a great day for all my family members at Cowra parkrun. You were all so friendly and run a very well organised parkrun. We were greatly relieved that you had checked the track was clear of kangaroos and snakes before we started! Loved your chalk messages and the very supportive volunteers,…
This is me with my parkrun friends pacing me to my first ever sub 30 parkrun. Such a great feeling to do it with my friends and amazingly take my PB from 30:15 down to 28:45. It was also my 100th parkrun so I had decided I’d try extra hard for a PB –…
Fathers with daughters would appreciate that it’s sometimes difficult to keep a connection through the teenage years. Running, and in particular parkrun, has been the conduit to keep that connection going with my daughter Chloe who is 14. We really enjoy as a family to kick start the weekend with New Farm parkrun and to…

After losing touch for 40 years since being friends at high school, Robin found me (after a typical late night search) on Facebook….. Even though we had been separated by two States during that time, just by chance I happened to be a mere 40km from her hometown of Beechworth a few weeks later in…
