This week 97 motivated people ran, jogged and walked the 5km waterfront course, of whom 30 were first timers. Despite the hot weather, there were 16 new Personal Bests. Well done to Ben, Josh, Ryan, Phil, Robert, Stephen, Michael, Emma, Andrew, Tom, Leone, Julie, Shane, Libby, Bolinda and Carolyn. There were 4 milestones achieved; Ben and Josiah completed their 25th parkrun, Tom and Lachlan completed their 50th parkrun.
The event was made possible by 17 wonderful volunteers: Nick, Kara, Matthew, Joshua (co-run director), Sarah, Nathalie (photographer), Kirsty, Darlene, Bossie, Craig, Laura (co-run director), Louise, Lynne, Braxton, Dennis, Joanne and Diane.
Airlie Beach parkrun started on 5th December 2015. Since then, 4,286 participants have completed 22,315 parkruns covering a total distance of 111,575 km, including 2,602 new Personal Bests. A total of 360 individuals have volunteered 3,153 times.
Airlie Beach parkrun is celebrating 'parkwalk' for the month of October, with the goal of having as many walkers as possible. New participants are encouraged to come along and walk the 5km course – we even have a ‘parkwalk’ volunteer to look after them!
Next week is Airlie Beach parkrun’s ‘122333’ event. Every ‘1’ is welcome on ‘22’nd of October for the ‘333’rd event. Tutus (22s) are encouraged but optional. New participants are encouraged to join in.
Every Saturday Airlie Beach parkrun meets at 6:50am for a briefing at area D, Coral Sea Marina (adjacent to the top carpark). Parking is free in the lower carpark till 9:30am if a parkrun barcode is placed on the dashboard. Post parkrun coffee and chat is held at My Rainbow Bakery, Shingley Beach.
There are no winners at parkrun and nobody comes last – the Tail walkers do. Regular participation is rewarded rather than performance, with ‘parkrun milestone shirts’ available to people to recognise their achievements in coming along.
