Maraka Morning Parkrun

By Victoria Velton

Even with Maraka prep, it was so good to see how many people still took the morning to get their Parkrun on. With many first-timers from out of town boosting numbers for both Parkruns or swapping to try out the other course, like my good friend Maria did.

he had a wonderful run in Cardwell before zipping back over the range to help me out as one of my float walkers for the parade in Ingham. She handed out sweets like a pro and I wanted to thank her again for her support.

Amazing work to all the Parkrun volunteers for making our courses so lively and special.
