The Springs parkrun welcomed 134 runners and walkers who set off on a coolish Saturday morning for event 242.
Sixty-seven males, 53 females, and 14 unregistered park runners, all first-timers, were supported by 17 volunteers on the semi-double-lap 5km route.
Participants ran, jogged, or walked the distance to beat the male record of 15:39 set at event one on November 19, 2016, and the female best of 19:40 set at event 26 on May 27, 2017.
The best male and female times for this week are 19:46 for Eugene de Wet and 27:10 for Odette van den Bergh.
Barry Sweetman and Marco van der Linde were congratulated for joining the 50s club. The Springs parkrun is held every Saturday at 08:00.
Entry is free. Runners and walkers of all ages can register at Presidents Park before the run/walk – get there with your phone, and dedicated parkrun members will help.
Bring your loved ones for some healthy fun and meet new people. For more information or to register before the run, visit www.parkrun.co.za/springs/
