Well said.
To all parkrunners across Australia as you prepare for Saturday: be kind to one another, look out for those around you, and take strength from the simple act of coming together. Walk, jog, run, volunteer whatever feels right knowing that community, compassion & care are at the very heart of parkrun.

This is a bit heartbreaking.
We’re sorry to share that due to operational issues , Sunset Dunes and Baylands Nature Preserve parkruns will need to pause until at least 17 January.
We understand how important these events are to our community, and we appreciate your patience and support.

IMPORTANT: Due to conflicts with two other events being held in the park this Saturday, the 13th, we have been asked to cancel our event for this weekend. The next event for us will be on the 20th, and in addition to the planned Ugly Sweater event, we will also hold the Holiday Cookie Swap that day.

I feel little bad that this made me laugh.

What's going on with Byxbee parkrun and the new Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun?
As many of you know by now, the Byxbee parkrun, for a while the only parkrun in California, has been paused. In its place, a new parkrun has...

Today was @byxbeeparkrun.bsky.social 250th event and 6th anniversary! There was cake, cupcakes, cookies - so many fun things to eat. And there was a reminder of why this was the last Byxbee parkrun for the foreseeable future - a mass of construction equipment doing construction things on a Saturday!

Tevye himself couldn't have said it better.
Trump and his cronies are garbage people actively working to make the country worse and enrich themselves.
Protect trans kids. And adults.
Keep families together. Love is love. Insurrectionists are bad. Pardoning the horrible is horrible.
