While @parkrun events across 22 countries have been on pause, Newism (with parkrun's UK/Aus leaders) have taken the opportunity to re-develop the Virtual Volunteer App. Almost ready for release. #WatchThisSpace #loveparkrun

We are now releasing our FAQs

Ooh.. that sounds exciting! Might be a while before we get back to our Sat routine here in Newy, but it'll be great to have the improved Volunteer App in our hands. #loveparkrun
Action shot: @leevigraham mid device testing as he smashes out some new functionality for @parkrun's Virtual Volunteer App. Meanwhile, @pennyredhead searches for her phone…

parkrun events across the world will continue to be suspended until at least the end of June. Don't worry, plenty of notice will be given before events kick off again (at least 2w).

It might seem trivial to some, but so many rely on parkrun for their mental well-being. A connection, a chance to socialise & feel part of a community every week. Total cred @parkrun HQ for everything you do. Suspended. Not cancelled. #loveparkrun @newyparkrun 🌳
To protect our community we’ve made the very tough decision to CANCEL until further notice. Factors specific to our location make it extremely difficult to mitigate risk with the recommended health guidelines. Pls help share & inform - late notice ahead of tomorrow's event
If you’re driving to Newy today (15/2) avoid the boat ramp and rowing club area. Best bet is on or around Cowper St, usually space on South/East side of bridge. Regatta season!
Get up and moving! The wind will pick up later today - so join us at 7.50am to enjoy the best part of the day. #parkrun

Just a #parkrun to go... – at Melbourne, Victoria
⏱️ INEOS 1:59 Challenge | 37km
@EliudKipchoge has just 5km separating him from one of the defining moments in the history of marathon running.
Shout with us, come on Eliud! 💪

A great way to start the weekend. 8am every Saturday in Carrington. Arrive early for a first-timers briefing. Pre-register (once) to get a time each week: parkrun.com/Newy. #AlwaysFree #RunJogWalk

We certainly set the weather dial to #perfect for your 300th #parkrun @mrdaverobbo. That’s the kind of service one gets when one introduces a region to parkrun.
Marking my 300th #parkrun this morning with a🍺courtesy of @geoff_isbister and @BreweryStyx!
