ARARAT parkrun welcomed in 2025 with a New Year’s Day run.
55 people were up early on New Years morning to kick off a healthy 2025 with a run around Ararat’s Alexandra Gardens.
The participants included a number of visitors from across Australia and one from Sussex in the United Kingdom.
Organiser Tricia Ruthen said Parkrun encourage people of all ages and fitness to get involved.
“One thing we often hear from tourists is how friendly our parkrun community is—a testament to the welcoming environment we strive to create every week,” she said.
