“Parkrun”, the latest fitness craze sweeping Australia, could be coming to the South Burnett soon.<\/p>\n

The family-friendly events are run under the banner of Parkrun Australia<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and are aimed at people of all abilities, from walkers to Olympians.<\/p>\n

The idea is for timed 5km runs to be held weekly in pleasant surroundings.<\/p>\n

The experience elsewhere is that the events quickly become social occasions for regular participants.<\/p>\n

A committee was formed recently in the South Burnett and has begun holding planning meetings and signing up volunteers.<\/p>\n

No date has been set yet for the first event, but it will most likely be held in Wondai and make use of the rail trail.<\/p>\n

Parkruns must not cross roads, which makes the rail trail a perfect venue.<\/p>\n

And the Parkrun could even attract visitors to the region.<\/p>\n

There are multiple events listed on the Parkrun website in the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast but the nearest one to the South Burnett is in Highfields.<\/p>\n

South Burnett councillor Ros Heit, who is on the Parkrun planning committee, is enthusiastic about the concept and the proposal has also been gaining strong support on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
