I was in Melbourne and did the Albert Park Christmas parkrun. Over 1500 (1570 to be exact) turned up on a cold and windy day to run. I think this might be the biggest parkrun turnout in Australia. Huge start line, a massive finishing chute, and so many people that they actually ran out of barcodes. Very Melbourne summer vibes too, cold, windy, and still a great morning.

Massive credit to the Albert Park parkrun volunteers for pulling off such a big event on Christmas Day. It felt more like a festival than a parkrun.

Everyone showed up ready to give it a go, encourage one another, and enjoy being out on the course together. Huge thanks to the Greenbank parkrun team for having us and putting on a great parkrun event. parkrun Australia
