3 Problems. 1 Run. The Greenheart Surprise. | Statesman Quest Ep. 8

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ 136 runners and walkers. 3 problems. 1 run to solve them all. Greenheart Robina Parklands parkrun wasn't supposed to be on my radar.

This is Ep. 8 of the Statesman Quest β€” my mission to run every single Queensland parkrun before I turn 58. A parkrun experience to remember. ━━━━━ COURSE CHARACTER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟒 Greenheart Robina Parklands parkrun Β· Gold Coast Β· Southeastern QLD πŸ”οΈ Elevation: VERY FLAT (Path only) 🌿 Terrain: PAVED (Sealed path throughout) πŸ—ΊοΈ Course Shape: 2 LOOPS πŸ‘₯ Congestion: SURPRISINGLY UNCONGESTED & SPACIOUS (136 finishers) πŸ˜… Misery: GENTLE & HONEST πŸš— Access: AMPLE PARKING Β· PUBLIC TRANSPORT Β· FAMILY-FRIENDLY 🀝 Community Vibe: WELCOMING + ENERGETIC 🚻 Amenities: ON-SITE β˜€οΈ Climate & Exposure: TEMPERATE Β· MOSTLY SHADE 🌳 Environment: PARKLAND (Cbus Stadium backdrop) ━━━━━ THE VERDICT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "A city parkrun done right.
