Welcome to the Christmas edition of parkrun weekly news. Yet again it was a day of celebrations, many family and friends from near and far coming to join in the fun and even a few glimpses of the ever elusive Santa and Mrs Claus.

 

New Years Day double

We have great pleasure in announcing that Ballarat parkrun is working with Castlemaine parkrun to provide the opportunity to complete a New Years Day double.

Ballarat will start at 7.30am to allow our athletes to travel to Castlemaine where the parkrun will be starting at 9.30am.
Our mates from Bendigo are planning to meet us there too so look out Castlemaine 🙂

It was a fun event in 2017 and we would love you to join us too but Don’t forget your barcode.

New Years Day double (take 2)

The awesome New Year Double parkrun is back for 2018. Run or walk Bendigo parkrun at 8am, hop in the car and make your way to Castlemaine parkrun for an extra special only day of the year second parkrun starting at a special time of 9.30am. Our friends in the other lesser known Goldfields town of Ballarat will also be meeting us in Castlemaine after a 7.30am start for them.

Hang about in the lovely Botanical Gardens of Castlemaine where a coffee truck will be awaiting and catch up with your parkrun mates. Topics of conversation may include who has the best Goldfields town or which Goldfields parkrun has the best parkrun dogs but hopefully not who left their barcode at home #DFYB #loveparkrun

The community will be invited to come along and try their hand at basketball, badminton, table tennis, netball, group fitness sessions for older adults and now the running sessions.

Gold rush trail run

On Saturday, Sam and I tackled the gold rush trail run (along with 250 odd other people), starting in Daylesford and climbing up past the stunning sailors falls along the goldfields track, finishing at the Sailors Falls Estate. It was an amazing amount of fun, with an extra 2ish km chucked onto the end (total 13km ish) for free due to a parks Victoria issue. The course was stunning, with some single track, logs to climb and puddles to avoid. Not a single snake was seen and the exceptional weather made for a great day.  As with all these things you learn a number of lessons, the key lessons learnt this time was make sure your pants are on the right way and embrace the hills (especially when the whole course is hills!!!)

Feature race
