Here are the details of the Parkrun that we are looking to do on Saturday morning.
Albert parkrun (http://www.parkrun.com.au/albert-melbourne/)
To participate in a parkrun, you need to register (http://www.parkrun.com.au/register/) and print out a barcode for yourself. The run itself is free, but without this barcode you won't get a finishing time.
Last year, I ran between the race and the hotel. It's not far as the crow flies, but there is a big lake that gets in the way, so it is about 2.4k (http://connect.garmin.com/activity/274828237) to get there, 5k for the run (http://connect.garmin.com/activity/274828229), then the return, to make about 10k all up.
Last week's course times (http://www.parkrun.com.au/albert-melbourne/results/latestresults/): Fastest - 16m13s, Slowest - 1h01m20s.
238 runners/walkers.
I ran 19m30s last year, but I think I'm a bit slower this year.
Start time for parkruns is 8am in Melbourne, so we should leave the hotel no later than 7:40a.
Haysey and I will headover for a run (then a possible spew). Does anyone else want to have a trot?
