Brisbane Visitors And 200 Parkuns

June 3, 2025

This past weekend saw 9 parkrunners, including myself, claim personal bests! I’m so proud of everyone who showed up and gave it their all, especially last weekend’s fastest runner, who achieved a PB with an amazingly even time of 21:21 across the line. There was even a family doing a great Australian circle road trip on their way back home to Brisbane, thanks for stopping by and running with us, Woosha’s Warriors club!

Cardwell saw 3 new faces and 2 PBs as the Dynamic Running and Red Earth Running clubs took out most of the top spots this past weekend. Amazing effort to all the volunteers this week and congratulations to Judy for completing 200 parkruns!
