Whether running or walking, Parkrun is enjoyable for all!

THE holiday spirit was seen on the morning of December 24 at the Christmas Eve parkrun. 

With many locals and visitors to the area enjoying Mirboo North at its finest, it almost felt like rain and people appeared in Christmas inspired activewear and accessories. 

We had some fantastic banter about speedy times from some regular runners, and many of the newest regulars kept on crashing their personal bests! 

Well done to Doreen, Alan and Marissa.

The week also saw Mick Bolding complete his 150th parkrun event (a popular unofficial milestone amongst the regular participants). 

Many thanks to this week’s volunteers who help us keep parkrun free; Libby Belton, Chris Bickhoff, Lynne Bickhoff, Henry Collins, Stephanie Collins, Julia Groves and Katrina Palmer. 

So why not sign up at parkrun.com.au and meet us at the picnic table near the scout hall.
