We are looking very low on our Volunteer board for the next few weeks and as you all know parkrun only happens with the amazing people who step up to Volunteer every role is super easy.
Sirromet has an amazing team that can guide you every step of the way.

DON'T BE SHY COME AND HAVE A GO.

Well, we managed to have no rain during our event today and we hope you all enjoyed the occasional mud bath. We had 23 very brave souls who turned up not really knowing what to expect and I’m sure you didn’t leave disappointed. Congratulations to our first finishers Ellis Gnu (21:09) & Candace Gilbert (26:15), well done.
A huge shout out to our merry bunch of volunteers. Without volunteers no parkrun can operate safely & everyweek. Our roster is looking very bare for the upcoming weeks, so if you would like to help out, just drop us a DM or send us an email ([email protected]) Photos from the finish line below.
That’s over & out for this Saturday and we look forward to seeing you all very soon.

Happy Wednesday parkrunners. Just a reminder Sirromet is not operating this Saturday due to an event at the winery. We will be back on 29/3.
Take the time to enjoy another parkrun or perhaps volunteer to help out another parkrun.

Good morning parkrunners. I know some of you are still without power and the thoughts of the Sirromet parkrun community are with you.

Just a reminder that Sirromet parkrun is paused this week and next week due to a concert event at the winery.
If you’re still keen to do a trail, a bunch of us are heading to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail parkrun in Blackbutt with a few staying just up the road in Yarraman.

05/03/2025

Hello to all parkrunners, trust you’re all doing well and getting prepared for what’s ahead.
We have made to decision to cancel this weeks event due to the upcoming cyclone. Also to remind everyone we are not operating both the 15th & 22nd of March due to concerts at the venue.
From the event team at Sirromet parkrun, be safe and look after one another.

Hey parkrunners,

Yup thats another great morning at Sirromet parkrun all done & dusted.
We had a field of 37 eager parkrunners tackle our course, and judging by the smiles as they crossed the finish line, they enjoyed their run or walk. The course is in good condition at the moment, so if you have been thinking about coming to Sirromet parkrun, just do it.
Our first finisher was Ellis Gnu in 21.11, and first female home was Candace Gilbert in 29.49. We had 14 first timers to Sirromet and 3 personal bests - well done to you all. Shout-out to Ryan & Adam who were doing their first ever parkruns - great to have you along, and hopefully the first of many.
Thanks to this mornings volunteers - Bradley, Merilyn, Jen, Isabell, Rachel, & Megan - without your help we could not put parkrun on, so thanks for giving up your run to allow others to do theirs. If you dont volunteer often please help us out by doing your bit and helping out. Its really easy and fun as well.
Huge milestone for Rachel Spano this morning doing her 50th volunteer. Rachel volunteers regularly, and its people like Rachel who make parkrun possible.
Next week we still need a marshal, then we are cancelled on the 15th & 22nd. We are back on 29th March and we need all positions filled for that day please.
Thanks to parkruns sponsors who help make parkrun possible & free, if you can support these sponsors please do - Medibank, Athletes Foot, Polar, Lorna Jane, Brooks, & Snap Fitness.
Well thats all from us this weekend, photos are up below, have a good weekend & week, we will see you back at Sirromet parkrun next Saturday.

Hey parkrunners,

Yes its almost parkrunday again, only 2 more sleeps!
We would love to see you at Sirromet parkrun on Saturday at 6.50am for the run brief, then its go time at 7am. It doesn't matter if you run, walk, or crawl; or whether you like to run fast or take your time experiencing our course, parkrun is fully inclusive and everyone is welcome to come along (and its free, all you have to do is register).

We have a full roster this weekend (huge thanks to our legend vollies this week), and only need a marshal for next weekend. The following 2 weekends are cancelled at Sirromet, but there are plenty of other parkruns around for you to explore.

Hey parkrunners,

Well thats another parkrunday over, and what a great morning at Sirromet Winery.
17 of our 37 participants were 1st timers to Sirromet parkrun, including Izzy, Michael, Elise, and Marni doing their 1st ever parkruns - welcome to you all and we hope to see you back soon.
Conditions were very good out on course; not too hot & not too cool (just like the 3 bears porridge!) and there was no mud, which probably helped Ryan record a PB of 21.57, and 1st home overall. 1st female home was Angelique in 3rd overall with a time of 25.07. Well done to you both, and everyone else who completed the course.
Thanks to our volunteers as always - Pam, Mark, Liam, Dave, Chloe, Hannah, & Rachelle, we couldn't do it without you guys. Next weeks roster is full, but we are still looking for a marshal on the 8th March so if you can help please shout out.
We have 2 cancellations coming up on 15th & 22nd March so start planning your tourist parkruns.
Thanks also to parkruns sponsors - Medibank, Athletes Foot, Polar, Brooks, Snap Fitness, & Lorna Jane. If you can support these sponsors, please do, as they help keep parkrun free for all of us to enjoy.
Finish line photos are up on facebook (apology's if i missed you), Have a great week, & we will see you same place, same time, next week.

Hey parkrunners,

Saturday is rolling around, and you know what that means - Yup, its parkrunday again. And what better place than Sirromet parkrun at Sirromet Winery in Mt Cotton. We are world famous as being the best and friendliest parkrun in Mt Cotton, and we would love to have you join us.

Im pleased to say that we have a full volunteer roster this week, so thanks to Pam, Mark, Liam, Dave, Chloe, & Hannah - love your work. Next week is full as well, then we have a few spots the week after, so if you can help on 8th March please shout out.

This weekend Run The World are doing a promotion where they will donate $1 to parkrun for every person who participates wearing a Run The World shirt or singlet, and has a group photo with others wearing Run The World merch. So if you would like to participate, wear your gear and raise some money for parkrun to help keep it free for everyone.

We will do a run brief at 6.50am followed by the start at 7am. Dont forget to bring some water as it may be hot out there, and leave your dog at home please (animals are not permitted at Sirromet due to the wildlike). You are welcome to stay around for coffee or breakfast afterwards also.

Look forward to seeing you at Sirromet in 2 more sleeps.

Hey parkrunners,

Yes we are back on again this weekend!
The Sirromet hills will be alive with the sounds of pounding feet & gasping breath - and a bit of chit-chat for those enjoying a morning walk.
We almost have a full roster, though we could do with a marshal this weekend and the next few weekends as well. If we dont get a marshal we will just put a vest on a wallaby and let you all go!

I hope you enjoyed touristing last weekend, see you on Saturday at the best parkrun in Mt Cotton!
