The sunrise over the Bay and mild weather provided great running conditions.

Brendon Hince, a visitor to the Bay, was first in a time of 18:40 minutes.

The first female across the line was local runner Lauren Evans in 20:12 minutes.

Congratulations to all who participated and thank you to the fabulous volunteers.

Batemans Bay Parkrun is a free weekly 5km event for runners of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 8am in Rotary Park, Batemans Bay.

It is not a race against other runners, but a 5km timed run and it can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan.

It offers an opportunity for all the local community, male or female, young or old, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy this beautiful park and get physically active into the bargain. Taking part is easy - just register before your first ever parkrun. You only ever need to do this once.

Every week there's a post Parkrun meet-up in the Starfish Deli at the Promenade Plaza in Clyde Street where participants swap stories about their run that day and chat to other runners over a cup of tea or coffee. 

So whether you are a complete novice looking to get yourself started on your own "running journey" or a seasoned athlete wanting to use this as a part of your training schedule, you are welcome to join in.
