12.01.2022 We are now confirming that all parkrun events across the world will be suspended throughout the month of May. Read our latest weekly update http://parkrun.me/...sf574 #loveparkrun

11.01.2022 Here's the latest weekly update from Tom Williams, parkrun Chief Operating Officer We can now confirm that parkrun events across the world will be suspended u...ntil at least the end of June. We are getting through this, together. http://parkrun.me/vwft7 #loveparkrun

11.01.2022 An update on use of the event QR code...... Not everyone either owns or takes their smart device to parkrun, so: For those who want to check in at home, you could check in on your smart device, but best to leave this until you are actually departing for parkrun. This ensures you check in on the correct day, time etc!. I have added a photo of the QR code below for use as you leave home.... For those who don't have a smart device, you could ask a fellow parkrunner to add you as their guest when they check in, or notify the RD who will assist with this. All our volunteers will remind you to check in, and this can be done post event if you forget to check in on arrival We will have multiple copies of the QR code at the start/finish area, in surprising places!! Our volunteer team will be happy to assist in every way to ensure we continue to meet the Tasmanian government requirements and run an event which is as safe as possible in the current environment. See you on Saturday

We will be displaying multiple copies of our unique event QR code from THIS WEEKEND!! Please scan the code on arrival - we'll remind you at briefing!! See you on Saturday
