Pegasus parkrun Event458 Run Report
FREE runing/walking 5km.
Every Saturday morning, around 7:45, you can see a group of people - mostly attired in running gear - of up to 150 (or more) gathering on the grass area at the corner of Pegasus Main St and Lakeside Drive.
This is the weekly gathering of both runners and walkers collectively known as parkrunners, who after some words of wisdom and a bit of a reminder about the few (but essential) rules we have from the Run Director - they set off to run/walk the Eastern loop of Lake Pegasus twice.
Free! Did you know that parkrun events around the world are free to enter?
All you need to do is download a free, personal barcode and bring this with you whenever & wherever you do parkrun!
Our immediate past Event was held on Saturday, 22nd November, now whenever parkrunday falls on the 22nd of any month it's a good idea to get your TuTu out of the closet & we certainly did that this weekend.
Yes, we are crazy but wearing a TuTu is the mildest form of our craziness 🤣
We had 152 finishers this week and among them were 2 people parkrunning for their very first time‼️
We had 15 people visiting Pegasus for their first time.👍
20 of our participants earned themselves a PB by getting around the course quicker than ever before.👏
There were 6 parkrunners who achieved a Milestone and another 4 who will definitely do so next time out.🥳
Our 458th Event was administered by a team of 16 Volunteers and was enjoyed by all.👌
We would totally welcome anyone else who wanted to begin parkrun right here at Pegasus, as we would any visitors from other areas.
Come along and try it out.🫵
