Townsville Qld 12 August 2017
Up at six again this morning to catch the 7 o'clock start of Parkrun on Riverway. last year I did the one called Northside, where I managed to get lost and where there were a handful of people. The one they call Riverway is, oddly enough, right next to the river. It starts in front of the stadium, does a bit of a circle out past the tennis courts then back to the river. First we go upstream and across a bridge and then way down the river to the next bridge, back across and back to the start. Rather a pleasant setting I must say and I managed to squeak under 40 minutes, so it's all good, as they say. This area seems to be new and boast a stadium, arts centre and this humungous pool. At least twice as long as an olympic pool and an illusion finish at the end. Oh, and then theres another huge pool past that as well. And it's all open to the public all the time, acres of water and facilities and not a fence or a gate in sight. New pool at the Arts Centre Riverways. ...
