Altona Beach parkrun

31/05/2026

Happy Monday!

Please see our Future Roster attached… we need a fair bit of help over the next few weeks.
Volunteers is just as much participating as running or walking parkrun. It is an essential part of parkrun to ensure events can hold an event each week.
That… and it’s easy and super fun!
If you could have a look at our upcoming vacancies and see if you could lend a hand, we’d really appreciate it. Comment below, send us a DM or email [email protected]

Course was looking stunning this morning ☀️

We are set to go for tomorrow.

We have noticed that there is a significant difference in the amount of people attending the pre event brief and those completing our parkrun.
Friendly reminder it is a parkrun rule that you attend the brief every week. This is stipulated in the terms and conditions when you sign up. This is to ensure everyone goes home happy and safe. A safe parkrun is the best parkrun 🫶🏻

7:30am Volunteers 🦺
7:50am First Timers and Visitors Welcome, followed by the main brief for an 8am parkrun start.

See you in the morning ☺️
