EVENT CANCELLED Saturday May 30th 2026.

Good morning Risdon Brook parkrunners. due to recent rain, the track at Risdon Brook Dam has been damaged. Unfortunately this has resulted in TasWater closing the park until Tuesday 2nd June so they can undertake repairs.

A massive thank you to our volunteers who had put their name down to help us out tomorrow. Please use this chance to visit another parkrun, and we hope to see your smiling faces back at Risdon Brook soon! 😀
