On Thanksgiving we held our 5th parkrun of November and welcomed 82 runners and walkers to Joe Creason. 21 of these were brand new parkrunners. Hope to see you again soon. How about tomorrow morning? 😅

Thanks to everyone who came out and tackled 5K with us this morning. We had 58 runners and walkers and 10 of you walked back up the hill with new personal bests.

Don’t forget we’re hosting our 5th annual Thanksgiving parkrun this Thursday. Same time, same place, same entry fee.

We were joined this morning by some junior runners at Klondike Lane elementary and some of them even finished the whole 5K 👀 Thanks to everyone for coming out!

61 runners and walkers had their barcodes scanned and we didn’t lose a single finish token. Amazing effort by our volunteer team today.

Thanks to all 41 runners and walkers who joined us on Saturday. We had overcast skies and some drizzle that came out of nowhere. But that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. In fact, we were pleased by how many folks stuck around and yapped in the rain. We love to see it!
