The course was a bit long – maybe 90 seconds worth.

Cairns had its first Parkrun on Saturday. I wish I could have been there. "The location for Cairns Parkrun is stunning with palm trees lining one side of the Esplanade pavement and the ocean on the other." - Parkrun newsletter. They had 57 runners. This will quickly increases as the word spreads, there are loads of runners and walkers out along the esplanade every morning.

We were there the first 4 days of August this year.

Cairns - the best place to exercise in winter.
