#50Days50Ways - #44 - Helped start and provided ongoing support for the Mudgeeraba Parkrun

Mudgeeraba Parkrun is a free fully timed 5km run held every Saturday at 7am, starting from d’Arcy Doyle Park in the heart of Mudgeeraba, on Somerset Drive.

In October 2023 we celebrated the event’s 10th anniversary with a fun celebration and flashback to the days when Stuart Legg (REIMAX), Carl Scheutze (Tallai General Store) partnered with my office to kick it off, on the back of a small $5000 grant.

These days over 200 locals run every Saturday, from all walks (or runs) of life. It’s been a transformative experience for many and the stories still get back to our office of people who transformed their health and wellness routine, broke out of mental health issues, or just returned to fitness after medical procedures or bringing little ones into the world.

The parkrun crowd

Mudgeeraba Parkrun is an institution in our community and I’m proud to have helped start it and continued to support it in Mudgeeraba and throughout the city.
