VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT - MEET JULIE!

Say hello to this Saturday’s Run Director! 👋🏽
As a dedicated CBp Event Team member, Julie has spent nearly a decade fostering our community spirit alongside her family, supporting walkers, joggers, and runners alike 🧡

Julie’s commitment to parkrun is outstanding -

• Nine years of passion, continuity, and community building.

• 333 parkruns completed as a participant.

• 34 different events explored as a parkrun tourist across Australia and New Zealand.

• 209 volunteer days spent donning the high-vis vest (on paper - many more in reality!)

Ever calm, capable and reliable, Julie is a vital member of the core CBp team. Because Julie knows our event inside out, she handles every Saturday morning scenario with ease. Whether she is managing the timing or stepping into the black and white vest as Run Director, Julie brings years of trusted experience, leadership, and a warm smile to the course 😁

So, thank you Julie for all that you do. Nothing goes unseen and we are so very grateful ♥️

Please give Julie a big thank you this Saturday! 🙏
