25.01.2022 Eastern Gardens parkrun #79 This week 86 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 46 were first timers and 9 recorded new Personal Bests. We welcomed friends from all over the country including Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Orange, Sydney, Port Macquarie, Warrnambool, Mildura, Marriott Waters and Perth!!... And we also have a new female course record holder, well done Beth McKenzie who was our first finisher with a fantastic time of 18:22. As usual a massive thanks goes to our volunteers who helped make today possible: Jane WHITE Kalee WEST Tania HARDING Jill EDWARDS Courtney WHITE David CLEELAND Scarlett WHITE Paul ATWELL Erin NICHOLSON
