parkrun #93 17/10/26
Breast Cancer Awareness month, so parkrunners wore Pink.
We had 47 crossing the finish line this morning. Lots of regulars away.
Everyone crossing the finish line was registered. Well done.

No milestones again today. There are a few getting closer.

We had 2 registered First Time Ever at parkrun. Hope you continue the parkrun journey. Another had his 2nd time at Mareeba. Glad to see you back again.
Please spread the word about parkrun so more locals can join us.

Our other first-timers were visitors from the UK, Perth, Noosa and Cairns.

Seven parkrunners achieved their Personal Best. It is great to see parkrunners setting goals and seeing improvements over the weeks.

Thank you to our 16 wonderful volunteers. A few doing new roles.
Check out the FB page every Tuesday evening for vacant roles. We all love our parkrun so volunteer when you can. All roles are easy and you are supported by the team.
Only spot to be filled for #94 24/10/26 is Token Sorter. Easy way to get parkrun and vollie credits.
Thank you to those who filled roles on the board this morning.

Behind every successful parkrun are dedicated volunteers who generously give their time, energy and enthusiasm to make Saturday mornings so special!

These three lovely ladies have been part of our parkrun family for as long as the Mareeba Rail Trail parkrun has been going, always bringing friendly smiles, encouragement and a helping hand.

It’s people like these who make parkrun more than just a 5km event – it’s a wonderful community!
