🌞 O A K E Y P A R K R U N — SATURDAY WRAP-UP! 🌿💛

What a beautiful morning at Oakey! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us — including our visitors from Crows Nest, the Toowoomba Triathlon Club, and Highfields. Whether you walked, jogged, ran, pushed a pram, encouraged a mate, or cruised with the dog… you helped make the morning what it was.

parkrun is for everyone, every pace, every week — and today showed exactly that. Smiles all around, kids flying down the finish chute, friendly chats on course, and so many people just enjoying moving in the sunshine.

🌟 A Special Shout-Out to Our New PB Stars 🌟

Celebrating today’s runners who officially recorded a New PB!:
• Sinoia Chambers
• Kylie Dummett
• Lachlan Markham
• Amber Carlish
• Stephen Robinson

But remember — it’s not all about PBs. Showing up, having fun, and being part of the community is what matters most. Whether you were chasing a time, taking it easy, or just out for a stroll, you’re a winner in our books. 💛

🙌 A Big Thank You to Our Volunteers

Events like today don’t happen without our amazing crew:
Curt Batterham, Simmone Batterham, Valma Cahill, Mitchell Casey, Isla Martin, Steve Martin, Irene Weston

We couldn’t do it without you!

👇 We’d love to hear from you:
How was your morning?
Did you meet someone new?
Did you enjoy the course today?

Have a great weekend, Oakey parkrun family — see you next week! 🌞✨
