Hidden Vale parkrun: Worth the drive!
This morning Brad and I ticked off our NENDY (nearest event not done yet) by getting up early and driving 1.5 hours to Spicers Hidden Vale in Grandchester (which is SW of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia in case you're a long way from here!).
The location was beautiful 🥰
The explanation for how to find parkrun was very helpful. (It's all written out as a pinned post on their Facebook page.)
The kangaroos were plentiful 🦘
The company was lovely 🙌
And the Run Director, Morgan (who may also be the Event Director?), went straight to work after parkrun to lead the team in the restaurant! 💃
...
🏃♀️ It's a somewhat challenging trail run, out and back, mostly uphill on the way out and therefore mostly downhill on the way back!
🔢 There were 44 runners and most of us were tourists!
✌️ There is heaps to do at Spicers. There's an extra network of mountain bike tracks (if that's your thing). There's also a wildlife park, which if you have little kids (or international visitors) might be a hit!
☕ Post parkrun coffee is usually consumed at The Barn, but since that was closed we walked an extra 100 metres down the hill to drink and eat at The Homage instead.
Thank you to Morgan and her fellow volunteers for doing an excellent job of running this (warm!) parkrun this morning. Thanks Barbara and Roger for their company over brunch.
Thank you Sebastian for giving chase when I went to run past in the final stretch; he gave me an opportunity to remember that I can still run really fast! (2:14/km is probably the fastest I've run in a speed session in a while!!)
And thank you Brad, for driving all the way there and back, and being my willing adventure buddy ❣️
That brings me to 326 parkruns at 168 different locations 🥳
