Tamborine Mountain Clocks Up 350 parkruns …
When Tamborine Mountain parkrun is held on the 10th of September, it’ll be celebrating its 350th edition!
Held in 450 locations Australia-wide where joggers can walk, run, or even bring their dog along – since its humble beginnings in 2015 on the mountain, over 3,200 individuals have completed the five-kilometre parkrun – a massive feat considering the population size of Tamborine Mountain and its surrounds.
Some runners, such as local resident Jim O’Reilly, are completely committed to the free-timed weekly event. In July, Jim became the first local resident to complete 250 parkruns, of which only nine were not on Tamborine Mountain. Well done Jim!
The parkrun on Tamborine Mountain is held every Saturday morning at 7am on Long Road at the Tamborine Mountain Sports Centre.
