Ocean Grove parkrun

04/06/2026

Get out of your uggies on Saturday morning. We need a parkwalker. It is a wonderful wanderful role. You will just need to keep ahead of the tail walker. Let the run director know of any issues and keep your eye on other participants. If anybody is in distress, call the run director who will jump into action.
