They say the early bird catches the worm, in the case of Parkrun North Beach… the early runner may be lucky and catch a yummy Ola ice-cream!
For those who take initiative and if you are like me, force yourself out of bed to do this fun 5km run have the satisfaction of knowing you have done something wonderful and healthy for your body and you still have the rest of the day to be lazy or get things done. You will be pleasantly surprised at how many people are ready and eagerly waiting when you rush in at 07h55 for the 08h00 start!
Parkrun North Beach is brought to the Suncoast Casino Promenade every Saturday morning with an average of 137 runners per week (biggest being 474 people) and is run with efficiency and passion.
So, what now… you need to register of course! It is quick, easy and FREE!
Once registered you will receive your own unique barcode, this will be scanned on completion of your run and allow you to track your progress week by week. For those who are with Discovery Vitality you get points each time you run, just make sure that when registering you link your Vitality up (sounds complicated, but it isn’t… promise).
