Mount Barker parkrun

10/02/2026

Hi ,

With increasing numbers there have been a few incidents across Adelaide parkruns resulting from participants not leaving enough space for other members of the public.

Sadly this last weekend, Mt Barker parkrun had a similar incident.

Please remember to keep left along the whole course and make sure you leave lots of space for others out enjoying the wetlands.

We want to ensure parkrun remains a fun and great community event for everyone!

Thank you

Liz “Gran” Hope is doing her 50th parkrun this week!!

Always keen for a walk, Liz saw an opportunity to get involved with parkrun as a way to spend more time with her family.

As it happens for so many of us, that quickly led to discovering parkrun locations while on holidays and ticking off 9 other events along the way.

Her parkrun PB even came about somewhat by accident when visiting Oxford parkrun in England.
Hopefully we can get a few of those family members out there to walk with Gran on her 50th!!

Congratulations Liz- we are looking forward to celebrating with you on Saturday 💜❤️
