Both parkruns were quite busy this past Saturday morning, with Cardwell stealing the show thanks to a magnificent sunrise. They also welcomed a huge influx of visitors this week, with the ratio of locals to newcomers being 4 to 7. Palm Creek saw runners going out in groups, and it was definitely a weekend for prams and dogs at both courses.
At Palm Creek, there were 2 newcomers and 5 PBs, while at Cardwell, there were 7 newcomers and 1 PB. A visitor from the running club "Girls Run This Town" joined the event amongst the newbies, and newcomers took the top three finishing spots.
