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. 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
As we mentioned in our run briefing, Cardinia Life will be under new management effective 1st July, so we are in negotiations as to whether we will be able to continue having our free access to the pool and shower facilities after the end of this month. Will advise the outcome once known. Thanks!
Upcoming Events:
25th June - Pacer Week. Getting close to that desired time? Use a pacer to reach your goal.
9th July - Kids Event. Our parkrun kids take on all our volunteer roles and show us how it's done!
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.
