20.01.2022 Does anyone remember the good ol' days? We'd get up on a Saturday morning and head to parkrun... While we still have no restart date yet, there has been considerable planning put in by global HQ as to how parkrun can operate in our new COVID environment. One of the biggest challenges is to not turn our inclusive, friendly, easy to operate, socially acceptable event into a burden on either participants or our volunteers.... In the meantime it's been fantastic to see so many of our parkrunners getting out and about doing their own (not)parkrun running

20.01.2022 Wonderful to see so many smiling faces this morning Congratulations to the 91 parkrunners who ran, jogged, walked & pushed their way along our beautiful foreshore. Check your inbox for your results. Many thanks to Aaliah, Bill, Jo, Erin’s, Jenna, Mike, Deb & Ashtyn for volunteering today We still have spots to fill for next week’s roster so don’t be shy - find out how much fun it is to volunteer

15.01.2022 If anyone is looking for motivation, check out how parkrunner Edward Lancaster is keeping his km's up - and helping others in the process! (ps in case you don't recognise him, he's usually the one up the front - or sometimes in a chicken or Santa suit )

14.01.2022 Congrats to our 69 parkrunners today. Port Sorell is certainly back! THANKYOU to our volunteers, Dan, Bill, Ashtyn, Aaliah, Bob, Judy, Ros and Deb. Watch this space for pics coming soon. In the meantime, can you spot Bill’s buddy keeping a watchful eye on our finish line? Where else do the fauna form part our welcoming committee????

12.01.2022 How wonderful is it to have our parkrun back Don't forget each week it takes a handful of volunteers to keep our event going. We are still in need of a Marshal and Finish Tokens volunteer this week. These are mandatory positions without which we cannot go ahead.... Why not get in early and grab your spot for next week!

11.01.2022 parkrunners! We are looking for 1 more volunteer to help us out this Saturday as barcode scanner. No experience needed, just you and your enthusiasm (oh and a fully charged phone )

09.01.2022 Just in case you haven't yet heard the exciting news..... October 17 we're back!!! More details will follow in the next couple of weeks, but lace up those shoes and get ready to go!

09.01.2022 And we're back!!! What a day for our relaunch - well done Port Sorell for still showing up in wet, cold wintery conditions. We had an amazing 21 people complete our first parkrun in nearly 7 months. Congratulations to each and every one of you and many thanks for showing your support. To make sure we complied with both State Govt and parkrun Australia requirements we had extra volunteers on hand to assist today's relaunch.... Appreciation and thanks go out to: Dan Bowden, Jo Riddoch, Aaliah Dennison, Bill Cotching, Alison Darbyshire, Ashytn Dennison, Judy Cotching, Dayna Dennison and Wendy King. See everyone next week!

09.01.2022 missing our parkrun family

04.01.2022 Today would have seen us celebrate our 2nd birthday. Like the thousands of other events around the world, we were devastated in March when parkrun HQ made the extremely hard decision to close all events globally. We've gone from an exciting start back in 2018, to watching our parkrun family grow, celebrating milestones, Council upgrading our path and welcoming visitors from around the State, nationally and internationally ... As always it the force of our community that holds us together. Although we don't have a relaunch date yet, the glimmer of light is that New Zealand will be the first country to resume from July 4. This heralds well for us and we hope Australia won't be too far behind We will keep you posted on any updates and of course look forward to celebrating a relaunch in the near future. In the meantime, happy 2 year anniversary Port Sorell parkrun! Celebrate with us in spirit this weekend with your own run or walk and post us your anniversary message/photo/results below Best wishes from the Event Team, stay well and keep moving!

02.01.2022 Who's getting excited about this Saturday!! We know it's been several months since our last parkrun so we thought we'd quickly remind you about your responsibilities as participants: Pay attention to the pre-parkrun briefing... Respect everyone’s right to participate in their own way Under 11s always within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian One dog (on a short lead) per person Be mindful of your local environment and other people No printed barcode, no time, no exception Have fun, it’s only a walk, jog or run Thank the amazing volunteers We have an amazing new path thanks to Latrobe Council and it is pram and wheelchair friendly the entire way! Due to building works at the Surf Club our start line will be about 100m further up the path - but don't worry, we've extended the turnaround point by the same distance! A Marshall will be at the usual start area to help direct you Please be mindful that we still have social distancing requirements and to maintain a 2 square metre distance between families from different households. We cannot wait to welcome everyone back on Saturday!
