Nini Mnguni took a moment to flash the camera her dazzling smile before finishing her race.

The sunny skies on Saturday opened up the opportunity for runners and walkers to dust off their tekkies and join the parkrun.

A total of 172 parkrunners and walkers were present at last week’s event.

Old and new faces were happy to be there because the weather had been gloomy all week.

The Springs parkrun is held every Saturday at 08:00. Entrance is free of charge.

Runners and walkers of all ages can register at Presidents Park before the run/walk – just get there with your phone and dedicated parkrun members will help.

Bring your loved ones for some healthy fun and meet new people. Those who can’t walk or run can always come to the event as volunteers – all are welcome.
