*** update - keys returned ***
Hi everyone, if anyone has left their house keys at parkrun this morning please get in touch.

22/05/2026

Update: Key has now been found. Thank you.

One of our parkrunners has had his car key taken and has instead found a similar key on the key board. Please get in touch ASAP if you have taken the wrong key. It’s for a Hyundai.

See you bright and early for parkrun tomorrow! We may need to switch to our alternate course, if that’s the case, we’ll let you know first thing in the morning. 🌧️

📣As it’s National Volunteer Week, it’s the perfect time to give a big shoutout to the legends in high-vis who make parkrun happen each week. Our volunteers make our community what it is so if you see one, throw them a high five, a thanks, or even your best post-run smile (no matter how puffed you are 😄).

We’ve still got a couple of roles up for grabs tomorrow, photographer and parkwalker, so if you’ve ever wanted to be famous behind the lens or enjoy a stroll with great company, jump in and grab a spot! 📸🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🙏🏼

And finally, a huge thank you to the millions of Australians who volunteer their time and energy to make communities like ours tick. You’re absolute champions.

❤️

Hi, Ashgrove parkrun community. 🐶 🐾

Just a friendly reminder about parkrun’s policy for our furry friends and the parkrunners who bring dogs along.

As an official policy, we kindly ask parkrunners with dogs to abide by the following rules:

One dog per runner at our 5k events.
Most of our events do allow runners with dogs but there are some events which do not.
Dogs should be kept under firm control, on a short lead or a harness with a short lead, and extreme care taken to avoid tripping other runners.
It is not permitted to run with a pushchair (pram) and a dog at the same time.
Dogs should not be registered. Any registration allocated to a dog, or any other animal, will be deleted and any associated results will be removed.
parkrunners are responsible for the welfare of their own dog.

🙏 Thank you for helping keep everyone safe and happy 🙏
