I hope everyone is enjoying the great Monday weather Melbourne is putting on for us today! We still have openings for a backup timer and token sorter for this week's event, if you're able to help let us know.

parkrun Chain of Survival

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdFkiktijHc&feature=youtu.be This video outlines the parkrun Chain of Survival has been developed by our National first aid Supplier, Scott Whimpey from First Aid Accident & Emergency. This is a scenario based on a person having a heart attack in a parkrun event, the content covers the parkrun Chain of Survival and is a training and awareness video. It is important we get as many parkrunners to watch this as possible. Thanks in advance.

Who's joining us for our 2nd birthday tomorrow? We look forward to celebrating with all our parkrun friends. A reminder to bring a small plate to share if you can. Also a reminder to bring your barcode - we'd hate for you to run a PB and not be able to record your time...

Who wants to help out on our 2nd birthday... we're on the lookout for a barcode scanner this Saturday

Well done to the awesome 116 parkrunners who completed today's event in near perfect conditions. A special shout out to Sonja Jenkinson, who completed her 50th parkrun today. Results have now been processed and should appear in your inboxes shortly. We look forward to seeing you all at our 2nd birthday celebrations next week. If you would like to bring a small plate (fruit, cake, lollies, etc) to help us celbrate you're more than welcome. Finally, if you find being a volunteer a totally awesome experience, then why not take it to the next level and join our event team as a Run Director. It's fun, easy and it wont take up too much of your valuable time. We have a few spots open, so if you're keen, we'd love to have you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend....

parkrun Defibrillator Guide

Hello beautiful parkrunners. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, here's the link to the defib video. Hopefully we'll all know how to use it, but never need it! We've just had a request to see it, so thought I'd post it again. https://youtu.be/jjmAyuHGDSk

We still have vacancies on our roster for the following roles this Saturday: - Finish Tokens - Barcode Scanning - Token Sorting The barcode scanning and token sorting can be combined into one role if necessary. Give us a yell if you're able to assist.

Love parkrun? What about joining our awesome event team as a Run Director? We're on the lookout for new Run Director's to join our team and make us even more awesome. It's a lot of fun, really easy and you get to contribute to making a great event even greater. If you're interested and want more information, you can enquire through this facebook page or come and speak to one of our existing event team on Saturday.

A reminder to all our awesome parkrunners that our course is on a shared path with the public and to please be respectful of other users when passing them - thanks!

What a beautiful morning it turned out to be for the 115 parkrunners at Altona beach today. Fantastic effort everyone, lovely to see those smiles at the finish line. Huge thankyou to our volunteers without you it would not have been possible. Congratulations Anthony Phelan on your 50th run today. Results have now been processed and will be with you shortly. See you all again next week.
