This is exciting indeed!

The Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun now has a Bluesky site: @baylandsnatruepres.bsky.social ! Give it a follow!

Introducing the new Baylands Nature Preserve parkrun! Its main site is now live, but lots of related sites are still in process (such as a new Bluesky page). You can go into your parkrun profile as opt in to receive emails from it now. www.parkrun.us/baylandsnatu...

The first step in transitioning to our new parkrun site has begun with the pausing of the Byxbee parkrun one. Once the new site is available, we'll post a link here (and will create a new Bluesky account for it). (Note that you can't email us using the Byxbee parkrun address anymore.)

Our very own Byx Bee flew around the course today!

Lots of fun photos from our 250th event are now available on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Byxbeeparkru...

What a day! Our 250th event and our 6th anniversary! And a bit sadly, our last parkrun in Byxbee Park for a bit while extensive construction happens. We will soon have news about a new, very nearby parkun that should start next Saturday to keep us off the streets while we wait.

Sample parkrun barcode token that I will never earn.

We had a huge turnout today, but unfortunately, there was an issue with the tokens. We believe we've sorted it out - take a look at the results and let us know if you are missing or have an incorrect time. (Places 1-19 were unaffected.)

Showing the trail that's been closed.

We're hoping to see you at tomorrow's 250th Byxbee parkrun and 6th anniversary celebration! Get there early as construction has closed one of the trails (you'll have to use the sidewalk on the other side of the road). Also, more parking has been lost along Embarcadero Road.

The stroller stayed empty! So much joy!

Irrationally excited about not getting eaten by a goose.

Lots of smile at the finish!

Many fine pictures from last Saturday's event 249 are now available on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Byxbeeparkru...

Details about the 250/6 celebration.

This Saturday is a big one for Byxbee parkrun! It will be our 250th event (green!), our 6th anniversary, and our last event on the current course for a while! We are going to celebrate with a post-finish picnic! Feel free to bring something to share!

Someone was just a little excited to hit her 10th (U18) milestone!

I love how that kid is looking at Micelle like she was a superhero at her 25th milestone! (Spoiler alert, she was!)

Many stats from Byxbee parkrun event 249.

Overcast and relatively cool weather led to a record number of new personal bests at event 249! (We also had a record number of finishers - parkrunners are turning out for these last few events on the current course!)

Interestingly, once we switch to the alt-Byxbee course, parking on Embarcadero Road for us will no longer be a thing! www.parkrun.us/byxbee/news/...

Showing the alternative parking available while Embarcadero Road is being worked on.

Like last Saturday, a bit of Embarcadero Road, where most people park, isn't going to be available for parking. Please go left at the stop sign and park in any of those lots (other than the airport parking lot). It will add a few minutes to your walk to the start, but there is a nice trail!

Since last Saturday was the last one of the month of August, it's time for a milestone recap! Here is the list of people that hit milestones at Byxbee parkrun in August. (In July, we had 9. In August, granted with one more event, we had 22! That’s the most we’ve had in a month this year!)

Upcoming Course Change Information | Byxbee parkrunFacebookXInstagramYouTubeTikTokLinkedIn Byxbee parkrun is one of many worldwide free, fun, and friendly 5k community events that takes place every week

As was announced Saturday, in three weeks we will be moving the Byxbee parkrun course due to construction. Here is a link to details - if you get a chance, go try out the new course and let us know what you think! www.parkrun.us/byxbee/news/...

Running into the sun!

Running away from the sun!

Many sun-filled pictures from today's event 248 are now available on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Byxbeeparkru...

Adam found out early that the 32nd finisher was going to be the 25,000th finish, so he did complicated math while running and it worked out!

Yitz showing off his 50 milestone bling!

Allen was the third 100 finish milestone in three weeks!

Various stats from Byxbee parkrun 248.

Two fun things from a sun-drenched day at Byxbee: For the third week in a row we had a 100 finish milestone, and we also had our 25,000th Byxbee parkrun finish (the 32nd finisher today)!

When you park at any of those lots near the Duck Pond, you can cross the road and there is a nice trail you can take to the start area. It will add two or three minutes to your arrival, but it's more fun than walking in front of the sewage treatment plant!

PARKING WARNING FOR TOMORROW! Work is being done on the side of Embarcadero Road where most of you park, and the parking there will be limited. Please use the Duck Pond lots and the gravel lots just past the pond. PLEASE don't park in the airport lot.

We are still looking for a photographer for tomorrow. Whether you have a camera suitable for paparazzi or the one on your phone, you can wear the hi-viz vest and capture the day's event! If you can help, email us at byxbee@parkrun.com.

Fun to run alongside the duck-filled water!

The Pole Ranch provides an interesting background.

Many pictures from last Saturday's event are now up on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Byxbeeparkru...

Bonus fun this weekend - the 32nd finisher will be our 25,000th Byxbee parkrun finisher! Plan your pace carefully!

(Note that we got his dad's OK to post all this.)

Logan has done it - his first parkrun 5K!

So fun to see these two without a stroller around!

The stroller still made the trip today, but it was empty the whole time. Logan was so happy the whole time!

Logan absolutely loves helping with course teardown.

Special congrats to Logan on completing his first parkrun 5k! Logan, already well known as a longtime and enthusiastic stroller participant as well as a hardworking breakdown volunteer, ran the whole way today with his dad, Eric! Way to go, Logan!

John with his 100th - even better, his son is not far behind!

Julie couldn't wait to "meat" her 50th milestone!

A variety of stats from Byxbee parkrun 247.

The ceremonial passing of the boomerang, now on it way to Scotland!

The forecast threatened heat today, but the morning clouds did their thing and we had a very pleasant event! Lots of milestones (our second 100 in a row!) and a boomerang!

Dashing to the fame and glory of the finish line!

So many helpers once the event is over!

Many pictures from Saturday's event 246 are now available on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Byxbeeparkru...

Sanjeev reached his 100th finish milestone, with 95 of those coming at Byxbee!

T hit her 25th volunteer milestone, and managed to keep caffeinated while doing so!

Various stats from Byxbee parkrun event 246.

An overcast and oddly muggy day led to a lot of sweaty people at today's Byxbee parkrun! And five milestones!

It's never too late to wave at the camera!

The marshalls from far-flung points returning to the start/finish festival area.

Many pictures from our event 245 are now available on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Byxbeeparkru...

Rookie RD Aaron baked us a cake!

This shot makes it look like we should be building an ark due to all the rain that's coming, but there was no chance of rain. And by the end, it was decidedly warm. (The Duck of Turnaround wouldn't have minded some rain though.)

Some stats from Byxbee parkrun event 245.

A mix of overcast and sun along with our third rookie RD in four weeks (!) lead to a fantastic event today!

The Bay Area owes Sarah a huge thanks for her efforts in building an amazing team that worked together to make Byxbee parkrun one of the most popular in the US! And we who are picking up the reins wish her the best as she returns to the Land Down Under.
