WELLINGTON NOW HOME TO A PARKRUN
Wellington is now home to its very own parkrun event thanks to the efforts of local residents with the support of Dubbo Regional Council (DRC).
Parkrun is a free community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. It is 5km in distance and takes place every Saturday morning.
DRC has undertaken considerable asset renewal at the event location including the reinstatement of paths at Pioneer Park, the stabilisation of the Bell River and construction of the Cameron Park bridge ensured this community event can be facilitated. These areas were heavily impacted and damaged by flood events in 2022.
“Council is really pleased to see the addition of a parkrun for Wellington. There has been lots of work behind-the-scenes to make this possible and I really want to congratulate everyone involved.”
“I would particularly like to congratulate Wellington resident Emmalee Holmes and the committee who have been a driving force behind getting the event established for Wellington.”
“Parkrun is a great opportunity for residents and also visitors to our town to participate in and lead a more active life, but also enjoy social connection with other community members,” said Wellington parkrun director Emmalee Holmes.
“We hope the Cameron Park, Wellington parkrun will be a successful and popular event for our local community and increase health and fitness for the Wellington residents. It is also a great opportunity to showcase Wellington’s beautiful parks and Bell River.”
“We are also looking for people who are keen to volunteer, if this is something you may be interested in reach out to us via Facebook and we can chat about the different roles,” said Ms Holmes.
Cameron Park, Wellington parkrun is held every Saturday at 8am. Meet at Cameron Park. Parkrun is free to attend, and participants can walk or jog the 5km distance. Simply sign up for free at www.parkrun.com.au/cameronparkwellington and turn up.
