Hive account@consciouscat has done every parkrun in the greater Sydney district. A Club the Aussie parkrun tourism face book group refers to as "Raefarer" (named after the first person do do all Sydney parkruns) So as were we on Holidays in the area visiting a few family and friends. We borrowed a car and did a short visit the New South Wales Central Coast to collect a new parkrun stat at Mt Pengang Gardens. It was definitely worth the trip on a crisp, fresh morning. The gardens where beautiful.
I have never seen a parkrun rules notice Board before. All simple and easy to follow which makes for a smooth event.
With no wind the lake was dead flat.
There was a few other areas in the parklands which I explored during a warm up jog.
A wood duck making ripples.
That glassy mirrored water made for some great photos.
If they had only named the park after these Xanthorrhoea Grass Trees it would have been the first parkrun in the world starting with a X. The only letter missing from the alphabet challenge.
The parkrun stated and finished up on the bridge.
The run briefing just before the start.
Lap 1, photos of me are my parkrun volunteer photographer.
Lap 2
Third and final lap. Perfect running conditions in this nice garden setting. The course was convoluted with lots of twists and turn and about 36 meters of elevation gain. My official time for the 5 kilometres was 24:10 not my fastest but a good solid workout.
