[VIDEO] Minnippi Park Run | A Place to Get Fit & Make Friends

By Chelsea Keim // Place Coorparoo

What makes getting up early on a Saturday morning to exercise easy?

Running 5km with a bunch of strangers in a park of course! Most likely, you'll make some new friends along the way.

With a mix of all ages (including fur babies) and fitness levels,the Minnippi Park Run is a great way to get fit and healthy, while having fun!

There’s nothing better than a bit of encouragement when you’re running 5km and running with 200 people on a weekly basis is a great way to gain motivation.

We caught up with Carmel Rogers, the Event Director and Run Director of Minnippi Park Run.

She says “once you start park running the bug happens and next thing you know, you'll be jogging a little further and hitting a PB.”
