Bannockburn Bush parkrun Event #377

Another fantastic morning greeted participants at Bannockburn Bush parkrun, with the community coming together for the weekly free 5km event. Like every Saturday, runners, walkers and volunteers gathered for an 8am start on the scenic bush trail, showcasing the inclusive spirit that makes parkrun so special.

🎉 Personal Bests
A big highlight this week was the recording of 11 personal bests (PBs) achieved. Several runners clearly made the most of the good conditions, pushing hard to record their fastest ever times at this course. Congratulations go to: Timothy, Peter, Polly, Hudson, Suzanne, Jennifer, David, Amy, Maureen, Sophie & Hannah.

A shout out to Timothy and Suzanne who also notched up their 50th runs, and to Jennifer, who completed her 25th.

👋 First Timers & Visitors
It was fantastic to welcome 16 first timers to Bannockburn Bush parkrun! Whether it was their very first parkrun ever or they were visiting from another event, we hope you enjoyed the course and friendly atmosphere. A special mention to Alice who completed her first parkrun ‘on her own’ today.
We look forward to seeing you back again soon!

🙌 Volunteers
As always, a huge thank you goes to the amazing team of volunteers who made today’s event possible.

Parkrun events are entirely volunteer-led, and their contribution ensures the event runs safely and smoothly each week.
If you haven’t volunteered before, consider giving it a go—it’s a rewarding way to be part of the community. There is a vacancy for a photographer next weekend!

See you all next Saturday for another run, jog, walk, or volunteer!

83 eager participants braved the weather forecast yesterday and made it out of bed and into the bush. 10 of those were with us for the first time - some from as far afield as Canberra and South Australia, others were new locals who we hope enjoyed themselves - it's even nicer on a sunny day, we promise!

The drizzly conditions suited 8 participants who scored themselves pb's - congratulations to Mark, Wayne, Violet, Leanne, Tyler, Archer, Tommy and Russell, some of whom took up to a whopping 5 minutes off their previous best times.

The cold rainy days are the least inviting ones to be a volunteer so we especially appreciate the efforts of Jackson (great photos, thanks!), Emma, Julie, Melissa, Leanne, Roger, Michelle and Ollie, Linda and Narelle.

See you all back out here Easter Saturday!
