Parkrunners in Standerton are out of the blocks

Participants at the parkrun at the Standerton River Park on Saturday, October 30 went all out for the 5km route.

A warning was given to runners and walkers to be aware of the muddy conditions after a rain storm the previous night.

After a warm-up exercise, the whistle blew at 8:00.

Volunteers took to their positions to ensure a safe exercise for all.

A mother pushed her baby, but had to return without completing the distance when the little one did not enjoy the movement in the pram.

The first participant to complete the race was Siyabonga Kamhelo, clocking in, out of breath, in a time of 17 minutes.

The parkrun is free and a regular event at the river park.
