24.01.2022 We were thrilled to see Run Director Gary receive an award from Kate Thwaites MP at the Jagajaga Community Volunteer Awards 2020 on the weekend. Gary was presented with the award for his 30+ years of volunteer service and contribution to many different organisations over the years, including Diamond Creek parkrun. We are a better group thanks to the wisdom, kindness, commitment and good humour Gary gives to DCp. We'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to Gary.

23.01.2022 Lest we forget. #anzacday #standto #lightupthedawn

18.01.2022 What did you get up to this morning? Tell us in emojis and see if we can guess

18.01.2022 It was great to see lots of people start their weekend at parkrun this morning. Well done to the 344 finishers and welcome to the 15 first timers. Congrats to the 60 people who recorded a PB time. Our volunteers did a great job covering the normal roles and the additional pacing roles. Thanks today go to Gary, Cashel, Kendall, Chris, Jack, Stephen, Bruce, Debbie, Stella, Anthony, Kylee, Steve, Daryl, Tracey, Sandra, James, Peter, Kellie, Dean, Elishia, Jaclyn, Gerard, Jackie, James, Gerry, Fiona, Lilly, Stef, Bridget, Lauren, Anna, Adem, Arion and Run Director, Anthony. Enjoy the rest of this beautiful sunny weekend

17.01.2022 Each week, a team of volunteers come together to make parkrun happen. Some people take on any role, some have a favourite, and some have roles they'd prefer not to do! What's your favourite volunteer role and why?

16.01.2022 As well as missing you guys, we're missing our regular weekly photos. So we thought, let's have some! We'd love you to show us what you are doing to look after your PHYSICAL health during lockdown. The photos can be creative, simple, fancy... you can be in it, or not... it's up to you! We'll collate the photos and post them on Sunday (changed due to Anzac Day). **We need the photos by 10am Sunday** Please email them, send them via message to our FB page or post them below.

16.01.2022 Many plans and goals have had to change or be put on hold at the moment, and it's understandable to be feeling frustrated and disappointed. Late last year, Jaryd Clifford broke the world record and won gold in the 1500m and 5000m events at the 2019 World Para Athletics Championships. He then set his sights on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in July that have been postponed until next year. As many parkrunners may be struggling with disappointment and motivation at the moment, we asked Jaryd how he's feeling and what he’s doing to stay motivated. Did you know. Jaryd and his guide Tim Logan (DCp’s course record holder) ran the fastest guided 5km (5000m) in history with a time of 14:05

15.01.2022 As love is in the air today, tell us..... what do you love about parkrun?

14.01.2022 Another Saturday without parkrun - we are missing you all! We hope you are staying active like the DCp team... Cash has been doing online pilates and running, Kellie has been rediscovering hills running, David has been putting his feet up after his runs, Craig has been out running with Trevor, Anthony has been running with Michelle before having a coffee, Ben has been riding, Tarq has been lifting weights and doing burpees, and Nikki has been doing online fitness sessions. What have you been up to?

14.01.2022 **AN IMPORTANT PARKING REMINDER** We share the Marngrook Area Precinct with Diamond Creek Community Centre and Diamond Creek Force Netball Association. Please make sure you park in the areas marked YELLOW and leave the areas in RED for the YMCA and Netball Clubs. We have great relationships with these other organisations and want to keep it that way. Your help is needed and much appreciated. Thank you

13.01.2022 As part of National Volunteer Week 2020, we'd like to give lots of waving smiles of appreciation to the many amazing volunteers at Diamond Creek parkrun - the event team, everyone who has volunteered, and everyone who will volunteer when we start up again. DCp is a massive team effort and we appreciate you all #NVW2020 #waveforvolunteers Volunteering Australia

13.01.2022 What a beautiful day to get the finish tokens washed, dried and ready for Saturday!

11.01.2022 Hello from Diamond Creek parkrunners on our International Women’s Day event! Today 328 people ran, jogged and walked along our beautiful Diamond Creek track in perfect conditions. We welcomed at least eight new participants and visitors from Kirra Parkrun (QLD) and Coburg. We enjoyed a fantastic 329th event with no rain, lots of enthusiasm, and, as always, superb volunteers! Thanks go to Jo, Dani, Grant, Jarrod, Jen, Greg, Lilly, Fiona, Gerry, Jess, Scott, Oscar, Damian, Gie..., Renae and Run Director Kellie. Our sponsors and volunteers make parkrun possible. The roster is looking healthy but note there are gaps around Easter so please put your name down if you are available. Have a great week!

07.01.2022 To celebrate International Women’s Day, bring along a friend, colleague or family member to Diamond Creek parkrun to walk, jog, run or volunteer together.... then why not coffee together!

07.01.2022 Even though we can't get together on Saturday mornings at the moment, it's great to see you guys staying active and looking after your physical health

07.01.2022 What a weird weather morning. It seemed cooler after last week but it was still quite warm and there was a bit of fog, smoke, dust out on the track... as you'll see in the photos. Congratulations to the 382 people who crossed the finish line, including 28 first-timers and visitors from Lilydale Lake and Mullum Mullum. Our volunteers did a wonderful job - a HUGE thank you goes to Amelie, Ben, Bev, Col, Elishia, Elliot, Fiona, Gerry, Gie, Jenny, Lauren, Lisiana, Mish, Niall a...nd Run Director Nikki. Have a great rest of the weekend and we hope to see you back at parkrun soon

06.01.2022 Humidity was very high and a little rain along the way, Diamond Creek parkrun this morning was wet but lots of fun. Congratulations to the 283 people who crossed the finish line, including 17 first-timers and visitors from Gold Coast, Inverloch and Canada. Our volunteers did an excellent job - a HUGE thank you goes to Col, Lilly, Mish, Gary, Mike, Mabel, Gabby, Gerry, Sophie, Ben, David, Julie, Amelie, Nikki and Run Director Ben. Have a great rest of the weekend and we hope to see you back at parkrun soon

05.01.2022 Have you logged your (not)parkrun time for this week? You can record up to one activity per day, with the fastest time each week included in a weekly results table. It's not parkrun and it won't count towards parkrun milestones, but hopefully (not)parkrun can help keep you motivated until we're back down at Marngrook Oval together again.

04.01.2022 We are thrilled to see the new DCp path signs on the track. We'd like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Nillumbik Council who provided the signs, and for their work in implementing the path upgrade thanks to the Pick My Project funding. This track is a huge asset to the local community and visitors to the area. We can't wait to get back on the track for our weekly fix of parkrun

03.01.2022 We wish we were posting photos from our 2020 Footy Grand Final Day parkrun today. Instead, here's the volunteer photos from the past 6 years of footy days at DCp. Hope your team wins this weekend

03.01.2022 We'd normally be posting photos of today's parkrun, but as we are taking a break in the interests of public health, we thought we'd post a flashback to Event #1. Diamond Creek parkrun launched on Sat 9 Nov 2013. We were super excited to have 47 participants who were supported by 6 amazing volunteers. Afterwards, we crossed our fingers and hope people would come back the following week! Were you at event #1? When was your first parkrun?

03.01.2022 parkruns all around the world are celebrating International Women’s Day this Sat 7 March, and we'd love you to bring along a female friend, colleague or family member and walk, jog, run or volunteer together. Tell us.... who would you like to parkrun with???

02.01.2022 It's so lovely to see a familiar face from Diamond Creek parkrun.... even if he's not in his usual spot! Hip hip hooray and Happy Birthday Gerry

02.01.2022 This morning was a chilly autumn morning for parkrun. Today we had a visitor from York in England and 6 first timers to Diamond Creek parkrun. Today was made possible by these wonderful volunteers: David, Ben, Gie, Liz, Luca, Steve, James, Andrew, Col, Mish and Run Director Renae Please consider volunteering. Smiles, friendly faces and laughs are guaranteed!

01.01.2022 We have lots of amazing trails in the area but there are also some beautiful less known tracks and back roads that are great for walking and running. Have you discovered a new track, trail or back road over the past few months?
