It was a chilly 4 degrees this morning, as frost glazed the grass and the skies promised a beautiful warm winter day. 85 parkrunners joined us for Darebin event #82, as Shane Holt made his debut is Run Director. The course was clear and colourful, ready for achievements to be made!

We welcomed tourists far and wide, with interstate visitors from Sydney and Darwin and internationally from England! 21 First Timers had their personal barcode scanned by our friendly volunteers at Darebin parkrun for the first time today, 10 of whom were running there first ever parkrun!

This week's results include 6 "Unknown" participants. This is because they forgot their barcode. Printed barcodes are used at all parkrun events globally to record your results.No barcode - No result - No exceptions!

Parkrun events rely solely on volunteers, volunteering is great fun and a wonderful way to make friends. We ask all regular runners to volunteer 2-3 times a year.
