❤️🖤💚 Milestone Monday 💚🖤❤️

Well done to our milestone achievers on the weekend, with two huge 300th parkruns being achieved.

Magic milestone 🌟

Whilst all milestones are special, we celebrated a special one at Altona Beach on Saturday for Carly, who ran her 300th parkrun.

As everyone probably knows, Carly has been the Event Director for many years at Altona Beach Parkrun, and you probably don’t know, she recently stepped into an Event Ambassador role.

She’s amassed a massive 324 volunteer credits along with her 300 parkruns, and has volunteered in total 449 times.

🌟 Well done on your milestone Carly 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🌟

You too can work towards your milestones each Saturday by doing your parkrun and/or volunteering.
We need many core positions to be filled for this weekend if you’d like to add another volunteer credit to your stats.

Please get in touch if you can help out.

🏷️MISSING FINISH TOKEN 30 🏷️

We seem to be missing Finish Token number 30 from Saturdays event. If you have accidentally taken this home with you, please get in contact so we can arrange for its return.

Friendly reminder these are not souvenirs and we need them every week to conduct an event. They literally say ‘I belong to parkrun’ 😂 So we would really appreciate if they were boomerangs and came back each and every time you parkrun.

Thank you for your support with this 🫶🏻
