parkrun Kewarra Beach event # 45 06.06.26 run report
it’s always a celebration at Kewarra Beach Park Run and today was no different. There were five ladies all celebrating their 40th birthday.
So everyone got to sing happy birthday to them
We had visitors from Tasmania, Adelaide and Newcastle.
Fun fact about Newcastle Park Run
It was formed that long ago that they actually let the event team call it by the Shortened down term of affection for Newcastle ‘Newy’ parkrun. The Newcastle Park Run is actually held in the suburb of Carrington that is three suburbs removed from the Newcastle location.
If there was anyone that I missed out please comment below so we know where you’re from.

Thanks for making the effort to come down and join the team this weekend. It was great to meet you and look forward to seeing you again soon.
After a fantastic briefing from Run Director Nick 145 runners, joggers, walkers and barkrunners 🐕 set off to enjoy the fauna. Yes, that’s right fauna there was a dolphin sighting offshore and a sea eagle in the trees near the bridge. We are surrounded by this beautiful natural location.
