Last Saturday was another morning for my turn at Directing on the Palm Creek course and I was delightfully surprised with the huge crowd that piled in behind the starting line. In the last five minutes before 7 o'clock, about 20 people filed in to bolster the groups’ size.

It was a lively one, with sibling duo Dallas and Lacey taking 1^st and 2^nd place – only six seconds apart – and hitting personal bests!

With ANZAC Day on next Saturday, 25 April, Cardwell Parkrun will not be operating. Palm Creek is open to the possibility of an ANZAC Day run, and will make an announcement on the subject closer to the weekend whether they will be going ahead.
