Stanthorpe parkrun

On another note we had another special milestone this morning and that is my Co-Event Director Jennifer Morgan checked off a massive 250 volunteer milestone (she kept that quiet 😉) so I thought let’s get that out there as these events have amazing people behind the scenes that do amazing things every week. Not only this milestone last week Jen ticked over 8 years of being Co-ED alongside myself delivering a
Fantastic event with our event team and I certainly appreciate all the help and support from her over that time. Thanks Jen love ya ❤️

It was all smiles recently as this crew descended on Patawalonga River parkrun in Glenelg, Adelaide, to kick off Eliza’s birthday celebrations with a parkrun. As Harriet Morgan put it, “It’s very fun to be with a group of friends who catch up over a parkrun wherever they are.”

The group found plenty of similarities with Stanthorpe parkrun, with a river-side course to enjoy, except instead of two loops, Patawalonga takes you out and back along each side of the river. “It was nice and flat at sea level with no hills! I clocked the best time I’ve had in a while,” said Bec. (We can certainly see the appeal of that!)

Patawalonga River parkrun also earned top marks for being friendly and welcoming. So, if you find yourself in the Adelaide area on a weekend, it sounds like one to add to the list!

Bernadette (388 parkruns, 38 volunteers) and Glen (314 parkruns, 287 volunteers) recently headed across the ditch for their first overseas parkruns, ticking off Queenstown and Hagley Park in Christchurch – and with that, they’ve ticked off another letter in the Alphabeteer challenge – H is for Hagley!

Queenstown certainly sounds like a hard act to beat, with spectacular snow-capped mountains in the distance, stunning lake views and a warm, friendly parkrun atmosphere.
Bern loved the stunning mountain and lake views throughout the South Island, as well as the beautiful gardens in the cities.

In Christchurch, Glen reflected on the city 15 years after the devastating earthquakes: “The beautiful city is still rebuilding. It’s just great to support such a vibrant event full of amazing people.”

Two overseas parkruns, one more alphabet letter and plenty of great sightseeing in between. We reckon that’s a pretty good way to spend a holiday
