Pakenham parkrun Event Number 126 - 11th February 2017
After such a hot week it was great to have beautiful weather on Saturday morning. We had 17 first timers and lots to celebrate.
We welcomed 2 of our Junior’s to the Junior 10 club. Congratulations Tiarnan Hunter and Ryan Wall.
Mae Lee Sun and Kevin Camilleri joined the 50 club. Great effort Mae Lee and Kevin.
Michael Soutter was presented with his 25 Volunteer award. Thank you for being such a great volunteer Michael.
We also presented Anthony Beckett with “parkrunner of the Month”. Anthony ran 3 times and volunteered twice in January. He also does a lot of work behind the scenes. A very well deserved recipient.
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:

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
If you started your parkrun journey at another parkrun and have made Pakenham your home – please make sure you update your profile to reflect Pakenham as your home parkrun. Should this not be done, any clubs you might join (Junior 10, 50 Club, 100 Club, 25 Volunteer, etc) won’t be picked up by the system to be presented by our team.
