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.
