Singleton parkrun

A massive milestone for Singleton Parkrun with our 12 year anniversary occurring tomorrow.

Our thanks to Grant and Courtenay Robertson and their small group of volunteers for having the foresight, stamina and grit to establish Singleton Parkrun. With support from Singleton Council, Newcastle and Maitland Parkrun and Hunter Medicare Local, we were away.

The inaugural Parkrun in 2014 had an attendance of 222, with that record still standing today.

Massive thank you to our early volunteers and those who continue to support Singleton Parkrun. Arguably, making it one of those must do destinations as our 5 km course meanders along the banks of the mighty Hunter River.

Thank you all and congratulations....

The inaugural volunteers, below, some of whom remain our regulars...

There has been a watch found at Rose Point a couple of weeks ago with the name Bowen...

Could this be Bowen Grosser from Singleton Parkrun? Please message us if this may be your watch, one of our Parkrun regulars has it in safekeeping.

What a beautiful start to the weekend with 91 people choosing to rise early and walk, jog or volunteer. We also had one visitor from Sydney join us today, we hope to see you again.

There were 5 first timers with 15 PB's posted but the bell remained silent. Sometimes hard to determine how sensational you were on the day.

Thank you to this week's volunteers without whom, there is no Parkrun.
