Buckle Up, Buttercup: Here's the Lowdown on Today's Runs (Probably Not)
There's a strong chance, my friend, that unless you're a time traveler with a penchant for lycra, there isn't a major organised run happening in Melbourne today, Wednesday, June 19th. But don't let that stop you! Melbourne's got a running scene that would make Forrest Gump jealous.
However, if you're absolutely set on a crowd and a course, here are some options:
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
- Channel your inner Rocky and hit the steps at the MCG. Just be sure to dodge any rogue pigeons (they're faster than they look).
- Track down a parkrun. These free, 5km community events happen every Saturday morning in various locations around Melbourne. Check their website for details [parkrun Melbourne].
- Grab a buddy and turn your neighbourhood into your own personal racetrack. Winner gets bragging rights (and maybe a coffee).
Don't Fret About Missing Out: Big Things Are Coming!
Melbourne's got a stacked calendar of running events. The next big one is the legendary Run Melbourne on July 21st, with options for all paces, from speedy half-marathoners to leisurely 5.5km strollers.
Mark your calendars, dust off your trainers, and get ready to conquer the city!
