On the 26th of April, this journalist had the joy of experiencing Cardwell's Park Run course for the first time. There was a small crowd of eight locals, myself and my carpool buddy Steven. So, as the sun rose and bathed the Foreshore in a warm light we set off, all eager to place in the top ten.
I found the run to be enjoyable as the scenery was spectacular and the course was quite flat. You either run right by the sparkling water or through a beautiful shaded wetland forest with the 'shushing' of the waves and twittering birdsong keeping the beat as you run.
When I crossed the finish line to cheers, it was a relief to be handed a cold Zooper Dooper and laugh as Steven made it across the finish not soon after. We all had a drink at the Seabreeze Cafe Lounge afterwards and overall it was a joyful and refreshing morning, I highly recommend it!
