Greenbank was my 31st different parkrun. It was a cold winter morning for this convoluted 5 kilometre course on a narrow path. My time 21:46 of got me 7th overall.
North Harbour was memorable in many ways.
got her 50th different event, I got some nice photos on another cold morning and I got the first finisher token in a time of 21:40. The course was flat but hard as it was cross country in a cow paddock along the river.
I thought volunteering as the 22:30 pacer at Chermside was going to be easy but I struggled the hole way to hold the 4:30 minutes per kilometre pace. I was happy to finish bang on 22:30 thanks to checking my watch regularly. The photos were at the end and the people I was pacing had sprinted ahead to make sure they were under there goal time.
At Varsity Lakes I actually ran a bit too far. I missed the turn around at the right hand side. No photos but a nice course along the lake.
Horseshoe Bay Reserve was a great spot on the New South Wales mid coast. I got another first finishing token in a time of 21:44 after camping out in a swag.
Jindabyne was very cold and at the end of a week of skiing for us. I got second place beaten by a young professional athlete that showed up late.
Mitchelton is a nice shady course along the Kedron brook creek perfect on a hot day.
Pallara was a mixture of footpath, sports oval and a bit of trail. No photos but this was my strava screenshot.
Ipswich was my 39th different event, A hilly convoluted path at Limestone park.
Yarrabilba was a fast 3 lap course.
All photos in this post have to be credited to the parkrun volunteer photographers who give up there run and time each week so I get to see what I actually look like while running.
To celebrate my 10 years of parkrun, I thought I would make a few posts of all the different parkrun events I have visited.

parkrun is a not for profit community event held every weekend. It started in England and has now spread to over 20 countries world wide. If there is not one near you, I would have a look at helping start one so I can come and visit you.
