The parkrun scene saw an incredible milestone recently as the original Bushy Park parkrun celebrated its 1000th event!
In a record-breaking turnout, 6,204 participants attended, which was 2.5 times the amount of their previous attendance record. This staggering number highlighted the global appeal of parkrun.
In Mackay, the local Botanic Gardens parkrun is gearing up for a significant milestone of its own, with the 400th just around the corner. Scheduled for this Saturday, September 21, the event promises to be a special occasion, with hopes of seeing many familiar faces, both past and present, to celebrate.
In previous weeks, parkrun recognised multiple individual achievements, including Dorothy Oates, who reached the impressive milestone of completing 250 parkruns. Surrounded by a proud group of supporters, Dorothy’s achievement was celebrated by the entire parkrun community.
Other parkrun champions were honoured for their milestones, including Jay Pee Policher for his 50 Finish Milestone.
