🌧️ **Shepparton parkrun #598 – A little rain never stopped us!** 💚
The rain stopped long enough this morning for most people to sneak in their little parkrun.... 198 parkrunners still got out and enjoyed their Saturday morning walk, jog or run! A bit of rain, plenty of smiles, and another wonderful morning with our parkrun community.
🌟 This week's highlights:
👟 198 finishers crossed the finish line.
🙌 17 fantastic volunteers helped make it all happen, rain and all!
🎉 23 new Personal Bests! Clearly a little wet weather wasn't going to get in the way of some personal achievements.
👋 14 newcomers to Shepparton parkrun, including 5 people completing their very first parkrun and 9 first-time visitors. We hope the rain hasn't put you off coming back!
🏅 Milestone celebrations!
Steven Trevaskis – 550 parkruns
Martyn Gospel – 400 parkruns
Leigh Johnson – 350 parkruns
Chris Swart – 50 parkruns
Xavier Cruickshanks – 25 parkruns
Congratulations to you all! That's a lot of Saturday mornings and plenty of kilometres along the way.
🦺 A special volunteer celebration!
A massive congratulations to Louise Dwyer, who reached an incredible 250 volunteer credits! 💚
What an amazing contribution to parkrun and the people who make it such a special community. Thank you, Louise, for all the time and energy you've given.
👏 And to all 17 of our volunteers, an extra big thank you for turning up and making the morning possible, despite the weather. You're absolute legends! Rain or shine, it's the people who make parkrun what it is. Whether you walked, jogged, ran, volunteered or cheered from the sidelines, thank you for being part of another great Shepparton parkrun.
See you next Saturday for event #599!
