Lota parkrun
Event number 414
30th May 2026
This week 47 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 6 were first timers and 5 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 7 different clubs took part.

The event was made possible by 10 amazing volunteers:

Raelene FAULKNER • Ashleigh BOTHA • Martin REDHEAD • Sharon REDDEL • Kurt MCDONALD • Jenny LOBEGEIER • Thea BOTHA • Lorna BOTHA • Airlie MCDONALD • Ava STANLEY

We didn't get any volunteers on the board this week and would like to extend the invitation to each of the participants to give us a hand to keep the event safe and free weekly.

Wet. Very wet. But that didn't stop 48 legends from turning up and getting it done this morning!

Of our 48 finishers, 11 were first timers — welcome to the Lota family! 🎉 And 7 runners smashed new Personal Bests — incredible effort in those conditions. 💪

Congratulations to Trent BLINCO who took out 1st place in a great time of 18:53 — with his four-legged training partner barely breaking a sweat. 🐕💨
