This week Diamond Creek parkrun had pacers on the track, an initiative that runs once a quarter to help people with pacing for the 5km distance. It was great to see a lot of Diamond Creek Runners volunteering to support the local community and helping lots of runners - some of which were our members - in achieving personal best times. If you are working on a 5km personal best time have you considered training with us? We'd love to see and support you. You can find more information about session times or training plan on our website www.diamondcreekrunners.org.au

This weekend a number of our runners attended the Flying Brick Bellarine Sunset Run. For the second year in a row Diamond Creek Runners had members in both the 10.7km and 21.8km runs. This year we also had some junior members participate in the 4km run/walk too. To ensure that our runners were prepared for potential weather conditions that could be encountered at Bellarine we provided extra training sessions leading up to this run that were tailored to running in the late afternoon and in the heat to help our members prepare - luckily the weather was much kinder this year and provided a lovely evening for a run. Would you like some help in preparing for an event? Or want to come and be a part of a great inclusive recreational club. Then check out our website at www.diamondcreekrunners.org.au for our timetables and come along to a session.
