Wingate Park2Park

Its on again! The annual Wingate Park2Park Ipswich Half Marathon, 10km and 5km Fun Run is on Sunday, the 27th of July, 2008.

This picturesque 5km course in the heart of Ipswich winds around two of Ipswich's oldest parks - Limestone Park and Queen's Park. As you walk, jog or run, enjoy the sight of some of Ipswich's most stately Queenslander homes; along the crest of Chermside Road glance across the Ipswich Skyline out to the RAAF Base Amberley. Past the Queens Park Nature Reserve filled with emus, kangaroo, wombats and many other animals and the popular sanctuary of Nerima Gardens before coming back past the playing fields of Limestone Park to Bill Paterson Oval.

Bring the whole family along! For the serious runners enjoy competing on one of Queensland's most challenging half marathon courses. For others a jog or walk in either the 10km or 5km may be the answer. We even have special events for children.

The whole event is woven with fun from the local schools supporting the 5 drink stations on the course to the wonderful array of participant costumes, to the Mascot Marathon! Yes you read right.... We have an event for our mascots - Rocky the Sunsmart Wallaby heads the group as the reigning champion with close competition from Bendio Bank Piggy and iTel Community Coyote.

So come along, bring your family, friends, colleagues and team mates - dress to impress! and have a healthy active Sunday!

All proceeds from the Park2Park go towards the Ipswich Hospital Foundation's efforts to have the community become the healthiest in Australia. For more information please visit www.park2park.com.au.
