Key to staying healthy this Christmas season

The Nanango community have come together for their final parkrun before Christmas.

KEEPING ACTIVE: Christmas spirit all round for the Nanago Park Run

DESPITE hot and hazy conditions the Nanango community rallied together for their final parkrun before Christmas. 

The 5km circuit that follows the Ros Gregor Walking Trail welcomes athletes from all ages and all ability levels.

Still in its early stages, the Nanango Parkrun aims to promote a healthy and active lifestyle and director Therese Woodward says it's all about community spirit.

"The run received great support from the community and brings people from all over the region together," Woodward said.

"Today we had visitors from as far as the Gold Coast and Maryborough," she said.

"Despite the time of year with Christmas just around the corner we still managed to get 48 runners down."

With the festive season in full swing Woodward said it's important to maintain a healthy balance over the Christmas period.

"It's important to have fun and enjoy yourself however moderation is key," Woodward said.

"The parkrun on New Years Day is a perfect opportunity to get active," she said.

Nanango Parkrun is held on every Saturday along the Ros Gregor Walking Trail from 7am. 

Their next run will be Saturday, December 28 and they will hold an additional parkrun on New Years Day, Wednesday January 1, 2020.
