Today we celebrated Vryheid parkrun's 8th birthday. That is eight years of walks and runs, milestones and friendships, volunteers and community, visitors and heros, floods, thrills and spills and even a pandemic thrown in for good measure. Overall it has been a really great journey. Parkrun has brought us all together but that overall sense of belonging is what keeps us all together and still going strong after eight years. Thanks to all our participants and volunteers today and congratulations to you all for particiation in the world parkrun's one millonth event this weekend 🎉🎂🏆
Cameron, Sally and Daan were three of your volunteers from that very first parkrun event eight years ago. Cameron was the photographer, Sally the tailwalker and Daan on timing. Today Cameron participated, Sally did the timing and Daan was tailwalker. Smuts and Amanda also volunteered at that first event and again today. Thanks to all our volunteers over the past eight years. You are the heart that keeps our parkrun alive 🩷
