Congratulations to Melissa Fitzpatrick Cullen on reaching 50 parkruns today, with 30 of those at Goulburn.
She’s also visited 21 different different events and contributed 18 volunteer efforts along the way.

In addition, we had 23 first timers today, including 8 doing their first ever parkrun, and 150 participants, which is a new May record for Goulburn.

Thanks also to all of today’s volunteers, we couldn’t do it without you.

Today we celebrated Leanne Cox’s 250th parkrun milestone, a sea of celebratory pink. Leanne started her parkrun journey on 25 May 2019, after a routine visit to her doctor resulted in some hard-hitting truths. She knew then that something drastic had to change, and change it did!
Leanne, in case you missed it, can always be easily found among the masses. She is like a beacon because she can be spotted as the one in pink: hair, hat, glasses, shoes, socks, tops, and bottoms. She exudes a happy-go-lucky nature and can only be described as a parkrun legend.
She has an incredible resume to match, filled with vast and obsessive travel throughout Australia. For a start, Leanne has visited 103 separate locations that have taken her to NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland, and across the ditch to Queenstown to show those Kiwis how to parkrun.
Australia is the only country where you can successfully complete two entire parkrun alphabets. She has completed one of these under the Australian flag. Just to rub it in, she also completed another with a quick trip to Queenstown and is well on the way to achieving her third.
She has a PB of 36:39 here in Goulburn and a best finishing position of 5th overall (and 2nd female) at Mount Beauty parkrun. She has 83 separate volunteer credits in a variety of roles, including serving as our Run Director here in Goulburn.
Leanne has an uncanny ability to sweep people up in her parkrun enthusiasm. Often, she turns up with a hapless companion she has convinced that parkrun is for them. She is the ultimate ambassador for parkrun and a credit to us all.
Congratulations Leanne! If only the 250 milestone shirt was pink… though I’m sure, you’ll figure something out!
