Thank you to all the parkrunners, including the 89 finishers and 14 volunteers, who joined us for Marriott Waters parkrun event #353. Without you, this event would not have been possible.
Three cheers to the parkrunner who joined a new parkrun milestone club this weekend:
🟣 Melinda FLETCHER joined the 25 club.
The first time to parkrun is something to celebrate! It's also the first step towards your first official milestone club membership. Welcome to the 3 parkrunners who took this step this weekend: Sehaj SINGH, Shaswat ADIGA and Shelter MASTARA.
Welcome to the 6 parkrunners who joined us at Marriott Waters parkrun for the first time: Elisabeth ARNEIL, Jemma-Louise GILL, Katrina TOUZEAU, Michelle RIEDEL, Natalie COOK and Nicola HOLLANDS.
Marriott Waters parkrun is not a race, but it's a great way to challenge yourself. Very well done to the 3 parkrunners who improved their personal best this week: Karyn BENNETT (35:31), Kristy KEAYS (51:27) and Susan SCHEMBRI (31:03).
We were pleased to see 6 walking and running groups represented at this event: Australian Chinese Running Group, Derek Zoolander Centre for Kids Who Can't Run Good, Melbourne Pack, Raring2Run, Team Veteran and TXR Runners.
