Plaudits for Park Run

EDITOR – I would just like to compliment the Park Run organisation.

I registered three weeks ago and headed down to Toti Main Beach on Saturday, 22 April where, to my surprise, there was over 200 local runners lining up at the start.

I wasn’t expecting such a huge turnout and a friendly, upbeat atmosphere. It was a pleasant morning run on a stunning, scenic 5km route. Thank you to the volunteers and sponsors involved in making this event possible every week.

I will definitely be taking part on a regular basis and encourage all those who participated in a Park Run before to do so.

It is what you make of it, and whether you’re competitive or not, it will suit you.
