Why not get involved and volunteer? This week (15th) as at the time of posting we are still in need of a couple of marshals. For the following week (22nd) we need 2 timekeepers, someone on set-up and someone on finish tokens please if anyone can help out.

A total of 103 parkrunners took part at Kamay parkrun event #361
Course Description (Yarra Bay Beach, Phillips Bay, New South Wales)
This is a two lap, slightly undulating course starting in the park adjacent to the Yarra Bay Sailing Club. There is a 300m run to the first right hand turn and the course then follows the path via the historical market gardens and the cemetery boundary. At the 1.1km mark, turn right to head towards the 1.3km turnaround point. Return via the same route. With 200m to the halfway mark, the course veers across the grass. Complete twice to bring total distance to 5km.
Ozzie Ozstalgia was back for a 2nd visit at what looks like a stunning location.
