Weekly park run ticks all the boxes
Pedalling insults over Cycle Club investment
MIRIAM Tan brought the first Park Run to Dubbo nearly four years ago. She’d been a part of the international fitness success story in other towns and cities, so when she moved to Dubbo for work, she thought Dubbo should have one too. As pointed out in her Dubbo Day Award citation in November, Miriam (pictured) “instigated the event here and she raised all the necessary funds needed to start the event”. The Dubbo Park Run now averages over 300 participants each week, and Miriam puts its popularity down to several things. “The ability to provide a free activity is getting more and more important as sports are getting expensive,” she told Dubbo Photo News. Dubbo’s riverside cycle/walkways are ideal for such an event, and the local run was lucky to be able to use this existing land and infrastructure. “We are lucky that the Council have so much land along the river and they up-keep it really well with plenty of bubblers,” she said, adding that the Dubbo paths are quite wide, compared to others she has run on. Park Runs began in the UK 15 years ago, and have spread across the globe. Many Australian participants set themselves the challenge of competing in as many different Park Runs as they can, which gives Dubbo the extra benefit of visiting runners spending tourist dollars here. “I love that it’s for everyone, any age, any abilities,” Miriam said. “We’ve got some people who are 85 years plus. People come and push their prams or bring their dogs. People can run, walk, jog, volunteer, it is whatever they want it to be.”
By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY PUBLIC comments this week by Member for Dubbo Troy Grant about the Dubbo Cycle Club and Mayor Ben Shields have raised safety concerns for Cycle Club members. Mr Grant described the club as “whingers”, mocking their expressions of disappointment while refusing to help find a funding shortfall for a promised criterion track at the new cycle facility. Dubbo Cycle Club president Mathew Gilbert said Mr Grant’s comments help no-one. “Even if there isn’t funding, it doesn’t help anyone to hear these comments. We respect all sports, whether they’re popular sports or not... Those inflammatory statements are a concern for everyone, not just the cycle club,” Mr Gilbert said.
