Parkrunners, walkers get sweaty on Freedom Day
Bring your friends and family for some fun-filled exercise.
Some 106 parkrunners and walkers honoured Freedom Day the only way they knew how. The special event saw 20 first-time runners at President’s Park.
Nineteen volunteers helped old and new participants to navigate the double-lap 5km trail.
The participants ran, jogged or walked the distance and claimed 12 new personal bests while trying to beat the male and female divisions’ records.

The Springs parkrun is held every Saturday at 08:00. Entry is free.
