Post-parkrun coffee at Leaf Cafe & Co Marsden Park is a weekly tradition, even if some of us arrive a bit late after packing up! β˜•οΈ

Over coffee, we chatted with Zunairah and her family. They started parkrun with us just five weeks ago on a whim, and now it's a regular Saturday commitment. πŸ™Œ Zunairah even joined the volunteer crew this weekend for the very first time! We love seeing our community grow like this, and we can't wait to meet more friendly faces at Leaf Cafe & Co.🌳
