Parkes Phoenix

A Run Or Walk In The Park

February 5, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

Emily Collett and Alesha Ward took part in the trial run of parkrun last Saturday completing the 5km course.

It is the launch of parkrun in Parkes tomorrow (Saturday, 6th February). Called the Northparkes Oval parkrun, as it starts at the concrete pathway just north of the oval. Parkrun is a weekly 5km event for runners and walkers with no time limit for all ages, demographics and levels of fitness.

It is important to register before the event to get a barcode and print it out as you will need it for every run to have it scanned for your time. Go to www.parkrun.com.au and register for free. Look for the Northparkes Oval parkrun.

Be there at 7:50am for a start at 8am. Bring your phone to scan the COVID QR code.
