Bruce clocks up 250th parkrun by staying put

By PENNY STEUART Every Saturday morning, Euroa parkrun brings together people of all ages and abilities to enjoy fitness, friendship, and fresh air – but behind the scenes, it is the volunteers who keep it all running. One shining example is Bruce Moser, a dedicated local who has now volunteered for an incredible 250 times as course marshal in Charles Kemp Park. Bruce is the first person to reach this incredible volunteering milestone at Euroa parkrun and we were thrilled to celebrate with him at Event 301 on Saturday 30 August. Bruce's commitment has made a lasting impact on our parkrun community, offering not just his time, but his warmth, encouragement, and unwavering positivity on our ‘out-and-back' 5km course. Loved by regulars for his friendly smile and supportive nature, Bruce is more than a volunteer – he is part of the heartbeat of our local parkrun. Bruce was introduced to parkrun volunteering by his wife Roberta, who has also clocked up over 200 events as volunteer but was passed in numbers by her husband because she also volunteers at Violet Town Market once each month. Bruce’s involvement has also brought him personal joy and purpose, getting him out of the house each week and keeping him socially connected now that he is in his 80s. Bruce's story is a powerful reminder that volunteering not only helps others, but can greatly enrich your own life too. Everyone in the community is welcome to come along to our local parkrun. There are many ways to participate – walk, jog, or run the course at your own pace, or volunteer just like Bruce. We meet at the Seven Creeks Park barbeque shelter at 7.50am every Saturday, rain, hail, or shine.
