Volunteer story - Catherine I started showing up to #parkrun at Albert Melbourne parkrun in 2022, and the vollies cheering at the finish line caught my eye. It looked like a fun way to give back and meet people—I'd just moved to the area and was keen to connect.

Volunteer story - Jane Hit 50 #parkrun volunteer credits last Saturday—hoodie and tee ordered, of course! 🎉
