The weather has finally turned and we were greeted with an absolutely gorgeous morning.
We had 24 first timers to Pakenham parkrun, so we hope you all had a great time and will return again....maybe we will be your new Home parkrun!
================================================================
Upcoming Events:
December 24 - Christmas themed event. Feel free to dress up as much, or as little as you like.
January 1 - New Year's Day event. This falls on a Sunday this year and is an additional parkrun. This is the only day where you can run at 2 events in the one day if you like. Our event is at 8am with Berwick Springs parkrun starting at 9:30am, for those that would like to give it a go.
January 28 - Kids Event. This is where our parkrun kids run the show and fill all the volunteer positions. Roster is already full!!
================================================================
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.
PLEASE NOTE: All our photos of the event are uploaded to our facebook page - Pakenham parkrun.
