Today we celebrated two milestones. Kim and Midas (the dog) celebrated 50 parkruns and Lynnda achieved a massive 500! Lynnda has been parkrunning since March 2013 and has also volunteered 130 times!
A massive congratulations to Lynnda on entering the 500 milestone club - what an incredible achievement and dedication to our parkrun community over the last 13 years!
We had 103 participants join us this morning to walk, jog, and run the course. A big welcome to our 5 first timers and all our visitors who traveled from Deloraine, Launceston, Hobart, and Queensland.
A huge thank you to our 9 vollies who made today's event happen. Thanks to Brian, Alex, Ben, Pete, Ros, Melissa, Mike, and Wendy.
We are still short on our roster and need a timekeeper and barcode scanner next week. If you can fill a spot, please comment below or send us a message!
Thanks, Celeste (RD)
