A huge thank you to every person who volunteers at parkrun. ❤️

You are the ones who arrive early, stay late, encourage participants, and help create the welcoming atmosphere that makes parkrun so special. Your time, dedication, and smiles make a bigger difference than you may ever realise.

If you've never volunteered before, why not give it a go? You might be surprised at how much fun it is!

Together we don't just organise an event – we build a community.

💙 Thank you to all our parkrun heroes. We appreciate every one of you!

Today we want to honour and thank the amazing men who are putting in the hard work to clean and prepare our parkrun route.

Often, the work done behind the scenes is the work that makes the biggest difference. Your effort, your sacrifice, and your willingness to serve your community speak volumes.

Thank you for not waiting for someone else to do it. Thank you for stepping up. Thank you for caring enough to make a difference.

Because of you, our route will be cleaner, safer, and more beautiful—and our community stronger.
We see you, and we are deeply grateful. 🙌🏼

Thank you, Frans Kapp, Marius Strydom and team.
