25.01.2022 This weekend is the 100th event for St Lucia parkrun (the launch only seems like yesterday). Come and join us for the celebration. We are encouraging our runners to wear a black t-shirt and come with a smile. Looks like it might be wet so be prepared for some puddles.

25.01.2022 One of the things I love about our parkrun is the sense of community. To keep that going in these tough times I will post a photo and short bio so we can get to know each other a bit better. Only if you want to. Copy and paste with a photo in the comments. Name: Paul Age: 47 Born: Cornwall UK Job : GM QUT Student Guild... First parkrun : Rocks Riverside Favourite food: Curry See more

24.01.2022 Have you been missing parkrun? Our cousins over the ditch at parkrun NZ are starting up on 4 July, so there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. To get us all back together as a parkrun community, HQ has introduced '(not)parkrun'. This allows you to register a 5km time at any time during the week. Times will appear on the St Lucia parkrun results page. Simply enter your results through your parkrun profile. Some details and instructions are attached. I ran mi...ne this morning and the process is very easy. It has been great seeing so many of our regulars still out running, over the last month I have seen some of our runners around UQ, Oxley Common, Corro drive and Kedron bikeway. Hopefully we can all resume normal operations soon, in the mean time keep running and keep smiling and remember to wave when you run past a St Lucia regular. https://blog.parkrun.com/au/2020/06/10/notparkrun-is-here/

22.01.2022 Good evening St Lucia parkrunners. There has been developments in the UK that finally gives us hope that a restart may be around the corner with provision for some areas to open under a COVIDSafe plan. Whilst there are no times confirmed for the opening up I thought you would like to know and you can keep an eye on the page as we will be open at the earliest possible point and will need vollies to ale that happen. ... Stay safe and watch this space, hopefully we will be back soon

13.01.2022 Congratulations to Andrew and Sabrina on the arrival of their beautiful daughter! We are super excited to have a new addition to the St Lucia parkrun family and cant wait to meet her!

12.01.2022 Only three more sleeps to go until St Lucia parkrun is back!! To help keep us all COVID-safe each parkrun now has it's own contact tracing QR code. You can use it to check in when you arrive at parkrun (there will be a number of them printed and displayed) or you can check in before leaving home, in your car, at or after the event using the QR code in the image below. See you all on Saturday!!!!!!!

10.01.2022 We can't gather to walk, run, vollie, catch up or drink coffee together at the moment but it was great seeing so many St Lucia parkrun regulars (and other folk) enjoying and exercising around campus this morning. And, perhaps best of all, St Lucy's is still open for takeaway, so if you can pop in and support them after your morning workout that would be fantastic.

05.01.2022 Remember its our 100th rum tomorrow. The course has a few puddles but is otherwise in good shape. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Did I mention that we have cake.

05.01.2022 The news you have all been waiting for. November 28th we will be back and running. More info to follow.

04.01.2022 How has everyone gone without parkrun today. Spare a thought for our run director Peter who was due to run his 50th this morning - sounds like a pretty good reason for cake when we come out the other side. Exercise is a great way to keep our mental health in check in these dislocated times. Stay safe, keep running. Please share pictures and stories of running and lets keep the community going.

04.01.2022 SOOOOOOO pleased to be back, thanks for everyone who volunteered to make it possible and thanks for the 160 who came along to the relaunch.

02.01.2022 Please can you lovely guys take a moment to join me and thank the lovely Joanna Fack for her dedication and wonderful contribution to our happy little parkrun. Jo is off to Cairns for work and will leave a while in our team and our hearts. Thanks Jo for everything x
