Altona Beach parkrun

🏷️MISSING FINISH TOKEN 30 🏷️

We seem to be missing Finish Token number 30 from Saturdays event. If you have accidentally taken this home with you, please get in contact so we can arrange for its return.

Friendly reminder these are not souvenirs and we need them every week to conduct an event. They literally say ‘I belong to parkrun’ 😂 So we would really appreciate if they were boomerangs and came back each and every time you parkrun.

Thank you for your support with this 🫶🏻
