What a way to wrap up Winter! Today was a true celebration of friends, family and fun. Thanks to everyone who joined us - your smiles and positive energies were amazing. Congratulations to the 23 people who achieved PBs and our two milestone queens for today (Cherylee 100 and Maureen 50). Welcome to our visitors - we hope you enjoyed your time with us, and that we see you again soon.

Thank you to the 117 parkrunners who joined us for Redland Bay parkrun event #118 today, on Bring A Friend to parkrun day.

Photos and run report to follow later today. Have a great weekend and Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads and Grandfathers in our community. Mark | Run Director

One more sleep until parkrun day. Don’t forget to bring a friend and come help celebrate some major milestones. Cake is baked, volunteer vests are washed so all we need now is you. See you at 6.45am for first timers brief and 6.50am for our run brief and don’t forget those barcodes.

It’s ‘Bring a Friend’ week at parkrun this Saturday so you’re all invited to bring your friend(s) and if they haven’t been to a parkrun event before, let’s introduce them to our Saturday morning ritual. Look at all these wonderful friends we have in our community. This week we have a couple of major milestones to celebrate, so there will even be cake! Don’t forget your barcode, and if you’re bringing a friend, ask them to register for their barcode at www.parkrun.com.au/register/ Mark | Run Director

Who knew? Apparently today is International Dog Day - a day to celebrate the difference our canine companions make in our lives. With it being 'bring a friend' week at parkrun this coming Saturday, perhaps you could bring your four-legged buddy along (on a short leash, of course) to join our celebrations (we have some very special milestones!). Your two-legged buddies are very welcome as well. 😀🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ In between now and then, may your furry friends help you stay happy and healthy. 🐕🐾 Cheryl | Event Director

Our volunteer roster for this week is so close to full.... I have one spot left and am looking for an eager beaver to join me as our Barcode Scanner.... can YOU help? As you can see, there are also a few vacancies in the upcoming weeks so if you can help me by being this weeks Barcode Scanning Superstar or any of the other roles in future weeks, I’d love to hear from YOU. Remember behind every successful parkrun is a team of awesome volunteers! Mark | Run Director

We wish all of our parkrun people participating in tomorrow's Bridge to Brisbane the very best - stay safe and have a great run! If you're missing a jacket, we may have it in our lost property pile ..... please let us know if one of these items belongs to you. Cheryl | Event Director
