Last Parkrun For August

By Victoria Velton

What a month, and wow, what a way to finish up! Both Parkruns were packed, with so many achievements on the last parkrun of the month. Palm Creek really hit it out of the park, recording 8 PBs and welcoming 13 visitors to the looping track. Cardwell had just one visitor, all the way from Melbourne, but he made his presence felt, crossing the finish line first with the Red Earth Running Crew hot on his heels.

It’s fantastic to see the parkrun passion in both our locals and visitors. A huge shout out and thank you to the volunteers who keep parkrun going. Here’s to another month of running our socks off!
