Charmaine Clark completed her 100th parkrun on Saturday.
She was among the 302 participants who took on the 5km course at the Rockhampton Botanic Gardens.
âIt feels good, itâs a good accomplishment,â Charmaine said after greeting the finish line.
âRockhampton is a great place to bring up 100 parkruns and itâs where Iâve done the bulk of them.
âItâs such a good course; you get the hills, you get the flat, you get a bit of everything.
âI just run to finish it. Thatâs what parkrunâs about for me â itâs the social aspect.â
