Wangaratta Parkrun #450

Well done to all the hardy parkrunners, (all 68 of you) and 12 volunteers, choosing parkrun over rainy day sleep-ins!

Welcome to our new (and long time returning) parkrunners today also. Particular shout out to our visitors.

Congratulations to Greg Trethowan who joined the 250 club. That’s an awesome effort, Greg. Well done.

What didn’t like the weather, seemed to be our camera this week. Call it the light or whatever, but everyone was moving sooooo fast, it was too much for the camera to focus! Apologies for that. We do have some improvements in the works for this…watch this space.

Again, I was supported by the most capable team of Vollies, so thanks to you all. Anyone wanting to volunteer, please message us - there is plenty of room in coming weeks, and it’s a great way of giving back (and it’s a lot of fun!)

We'll be back next week for another free, fun, and friendly weekly 5km community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it's up to you.

Cheers,
RD Nick
