Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved

Easter weekend brought a noticeable boost to numbers across both courses, with plenty of visitors joining locals for a spirited morning of exercise.
At Cardwell, volunteers got into the festive spirit, sporting rabbit ears as runners and walkers took to the course, adding a bit of fun to the morning. Meanwhile, Palm Creek welcomed two large visiting groups from Townsville and Brisbane, helping swell the field and creating a lively atmosphere out on the track.
It’s always fun to run and race against new people, having so many on the track meant there was a new face around every bend.
