It was a beautiful morning for a 5k as 179 parkrunners set off from Hiawatha Park and made their way along the shores of Lake Minneola. There were 39 first timers and 22 new Personal Bests. Representatives of 18 different clubs took part. Additionally, there was one notable milestone. Jeremy Arguelles finished his 50th parkrun, congrats Jeremey!

Celebrating his 50th parkrun in style, Jeremey Arguelles came in with a strong time of 17:29 as the first place overall finisher. He was followed by overseas visitor James Sadlier, who ran a time of 18:22. Rounding out the top three was Matt Feltham in 18:34. Overall, the men had a pretty speedy week!
