Bowen parkrun

Bowen parkrun Bowen parkrun is a free, timed, 5km walk or run put on by the community for the community at 7am every Saturday morning in Bowen, QLD.

parkrun is not a race against other runners, but a 5km timed run, jog or walk. It can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan. Bowen parkrun offers an opportunity for all members of our local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy our beautiful town and get physically active in the process. We want to

encourage people to walk, jog or run together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE! Taking part is easy – just register in advance by 6pm on the Friday before your first ever parkrun event. The great thing is that you only ever need to do this once! Then just set your alarm for Saturday morning and get yourself there!

Hi all Bowen parkrunners & parkwalkers, What a gorgeous morning we had for event 493, with 34 participants finishing our beautiful course. A big welcome to all of our visitors today, they all enjoyed our amazing parkrun, and Dianne’s beautiful coffee. A big thank you today to our volunteers- Jane Carter, James Jankins, Tracey Edwards, Rob Harris, Dave Jones, Therese Smalley & Doug Connors. Congratulations today for P.B’s to Kaylah Ruddick, Darcy Dalton, Wendy Lewis & Owen Lewis. Great news is that we have a full roster for next week, but the week after is totally empty. So please think ahead abit to see if anyone can help with volunteering in the weeks ahead. It’s not too long before our 500th parkrun, it would be fantastic to see a big turnout of alot of our old parkrun family, here’s hoping! We will sign off for now, have a great week, and we see you all next Saturday morning for event 494.
All the best- Michael Deckert- run director.

Hi all Bowen parkrunners & parkwalkers, All should be good to run event 493, the weather should be perfect. Unfortunately we have a problem again with lack of volunteers. To be able to have parkrun this Saturday we need the following volunteers. We need a timekeeper, finish tokens and first timers briefer. If we don’t get a timekeeper, we could run but no one will get a time or a run credit. It would be just like during Covid. If anyone can please help with any of these positions, please comment back to us ASAP.
Please think about all the visitors, that have specially travelled to Bowen to do our parkrun, please don’t let them down. Will sign off for now, enjoy the rest of the week, hope to see you all Saturday morning at Barker Park.
All the best- Michael Deckert- run director.
