On Saturday 49 fantastic parkrunners took advantage of the cooler temperature as they ran, jogged and walked the 5km waterfront course.
Five were first timers and five recorded new personal bests - great work Cameron, Gus, Laura, Cathie and Tamika.
The event was made possible by 13 wonderful volunteers - Peter Hughes, Timothy McQuoid-Mason (Photographer), Kara Olver, Matthew Curr (Run Director), Nathalie Bloome, Braxton, Christopher Harvey, Madison Curr, Susanne Willmott, Ronald McCall, Ashley Gerrard, Laura Oates and Annette Turner.
Airlie Beach parkrun started on 5th December 2015. Since then, 3,592 participants have completed 19,656 parkruns covering a total distance of 98,280 km, including 2,328 new Personal Bests. A total of 312 individuals have volunteered 2,602 times.
No volunteer will be turned away, so send a message to airliebeach@parkrun.com to join the volunteer team this Saturday or for another week. This Saturday the post parkrun catch-up will take place at Bohemian Raw Café.
Airlie Beach parkrun’s 300th event is on Saturday 26th February and the theme is troppo. We’ll be celebrating the milestone and our fantastic tropical climate - everyone is welcome to join the celebration.
Every Saturday Airlie Beach parkrun meets at 6:50am for a briefing at area D, Coral Sea Marina (adjacent to the top carpark). Parking is free in the lower carpark till 9:30am if a parkrun barcode is placed on the dashboard.
The best-kept secret about parkrun is that it’s not about running - it’s about bringing people together in public parks and open spaces across the world to have some fun in a friendly, social and supportive environment. You can walk or run the 5km course (pushing a pram or with one dog on a short lead if you want to!), lend a helping hand as a volunteer in a wide range of super-easy roles, or simply spectate and socialise on the sidelines.
There are no winners at parkrun and nobody comes last – the Tail walkers do. Regular participation is rewarded rather than performance, with ‘parkrun milestone shirts’ available to people to recognise their achievements in coming along.
