311 people joined us for Woden Town parkrun #33 on a cool, crisp Canberra morning.

Despite the cooler weather, participation remains remarkably strong! Across the ACT, every week in 2026 has so far attracted more parkrunners than the same week in 2025 — a great sign for the health of our local parkrun community. 🎉

This week also brought a significant milestone for Woden Town. Since launching in October, participants have now recorded more than 2,500 personal bests, with the 2,500th PB falling during today’s event! A fantastic 85 personal bests were recorded, ranging all the way from 18:41 to 48:01. Congratulations to everyone who knocked it out of the park this week.❤️

We welcomed 43 first timers to Woden Town, including 9 people completing their very first parkrun anywhere. We hope you enjoyed your morning with us and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Official milestones were celebrated by:
⭐ 25 parkruns – Richie Robinson, Georgia Tuffin and Anthea Bollard
⭐ 50 parkruns – Chieko Horiuchi

Volunteer milestones included:
🙌 25 volunteers – Barry Dobson and Alison Grist

And a special mention to one of Woden Town’s most familiar faces, Jillian Mitchell, who reached her unofficial milestone of 150 parkruns. Jillian has been one of our most regular volunteers since launch and has played a big part in helping Woden Town become the event it is today. Congratulations Jillian! 😊

The event was made possible by 22 volunteers:

Jenny PALMER • Nick SYMONS • Penny THOMSON • Leesa HARMAN • Barry DOBSON • Alison GRIST • Clarice HART • Zoe RICHARDSON • Julia LEGGE • Bronti NESS • Nic THOMAS • Freya JOHNSON • Heather McDONALD • Anna BRUGGY • Jillian MITCHELL • William BARLOW • Imogen AITKEN • Penelope BARLOW • Andrew DEMPSTER • Lili MOONEY • Simon CLARINGBOLD • Oliver JONES

Thank you to everyone who wore the red, blue and yellow hi-vis vests this morning. Woden Town simply doesn’t happen without you 💙

See you next week! 👋

Visitors to Woden Town were treated today to a special First Timers Welcome.

We recently celebrated Penny’s 300th parkrun at Woden Town but today was her first time doing a First Timers Welcome.

Also, she nailed it! 🔨 Thank you Penny 👏
