πŸ€”When will Urunga parkrun be back on?
☝️Good question!!
🦺Council is working hard to get the boardwalk upgrade completed in time for the Christmas holidays. This includes working on Saturdays.
πŸ₯ΊGreat for them, but not so good for our parkrun.
🧑In the meantime, catch the great parkrun vibes at one of the other local events Coffs Harbour parkrun, Horseshoe Bay Reserve parkrun, Grafton parkrun, Port Macquarie parkrun, Wauchope parkrun, Armidale parkrun

☝️ A reminder that our event is on pause for a few months while the Council complete an overhaul of our beautiful boardwalk. It's going to be amazing when it's done!

🌧 Just gotta keep that pesky rain away so they can actually work...

πŸŽ… Hopefully we will see you around Christmas time. In the meantime, go and play tourist at some of our awesome neighbour parkruns like Coffs Harbour parkrun, Horseshoe Bay Reserve parkrun, Grafton parkrun, Yamba parkrun, Armidale parkrun, Walcha parkrun, just to name a few!

A massive thank you to the 47 people who joined us this morning for our last pre-hiatus parkrun πŸ€—

Congrats to the 4 new PB holders from today: Luke Beresford, Adelaide Keating, Mat Dobbs & Lisa Scott πŸŽ‰

Kudos to our amazing vollie crew: Matt Heaney, Stephen Boyd, Sissiel Keough, Nina Wilde, John Manson, Shellie Ford & Hannah McGuigan πŸ‘

Thank you to everyone who has come along and supported us over the last 7 1/2 years - we will be back as soon as possible - keep an eye on this page for future updates 🧐

For those who wish to keep their Saturday routine going, Coffs Harbour parkrun is our nearest neighbour - they would love to have you join them 🧑. Or maybe you could travel a bit further afield as some are planning to do; with nearly 50 parkys within a 4 - 5 hour drive, your choices are plentiful πŸ˜‰

We really do hope to see you all again very soon !! 😁😁

🧑 Come and join us this Saturday for what will be our last Urunga parkrun for a few months.

🚧 Half of our beautiful course is becoming a works depot while Council do much-needed upgrades to our iconic boardwalk.

🧐 We have looked at options to change the course around the works but can't find a viable solution. (We really have looked at so many options, but happy to hear suggestions!)

πŸ₯Ί So, unfortunately we have to put a pause on Urunga parkrun until our course becomes available again. The work is scheduled to finish before Christmas and we will keep posting updates here as the work progresses.

πŸ˜€ See you this Saturday for a 7am start. 6:50am First Timers' briefing. Please remember we are a "no dogs" parkrun.

πŸ˜”We have made the very difficult decision to cancel our event tomorrow Saturday 24 May 2025.

🌀Even though the sun has come out, there is still a significant amount of water on the path and on the grass next to the path. Running around the puddles would cause significant damage to the grassed area and pose a risk to our participants.

🧑We are sorry to have to make this decision. We hope everyone is safe and dry.

πŸ˜€We will be back again as usual on 31 May for a 7am start. In the meantime, check out our awesome parkrun neighbours at Coffs Harbour parkrun!

πŸ’§Our course is currently under a few inches of water. Conditions are due to clear up from tomorrow, so we will keep an eye on things and post on here if we need to cancel our event this Saturday.

🌧 While we do love a rainy run, if conditions are dangerous maybe look for some indoor alternatives.
