Pakenham parkrun Event Number 86 - 14th May 2016
Another gorgeous day for the 86 runners/walkers that attended our parkrun on Saturday.
We had 2 members join the Junior 10 Club - Congratulations Amaya & Brandon Ross
We were missing quite a few regulars as they were attending the Great Ocean Road Marathon, however, we still had 13 First Timers and 9 PB's were achieved!
Thank you to our amazing volunteers! So that everyone can have an opportunity to run, we ask that runners volunteer around 3 times a year. Volunteering provides enjoyment, satisfaction and allows people to give back to their community, and without volunteers, parkrun would not be possible. In order for parkrun to run every week we need volunteers. If you would like to assist, you can email us at pakenhamhelpers@parkrun.com, fill in the roster at the shelter or talk to your Run Director at the event.
Please check the future roster at: www.parkrun.com.au/pakenham/futureroster
Due to insurance purposes, we require all our volunteers to also be registered with parkrun, so please ensure that you are registered so we can add you to the roster!
We would like to thank the Cardinia Shire Council and the Pakenham Racing Club for their support in getting us up and running.
Don't forget the lovely offer from Cardinia Life for all our members with a barcode (to be shown at reception) to obtain free access to their swimming pool and showers until 11am every Saturday indefinitely!! Please note: You just have to arrive by 11am, but can stay ALL DAY 
PLEASE NOTE: All our photos of the event are uploaded to our facebook page - Pakenham parkrun
