Beaudesert, which launched ‘Jeune Park parkrun’ on April 27, is a hot new destination for parkrun enthusiasts keen to get a run starting with the letter ‘J’ under their belt.

A popular parkrun challenge is to run or walk at parkrun locations starting with each letter of the English alphabet except X.

There were 181 people at the inaugural Jeune Park parkrun, coming from near and far to be part of the action.

Jeune Park parkrun is on every Saturday at 7am. It is 5km through a paddock behind Spring Creek Estate and participation is free.

For more information or to volunteer, visit https://www.parkrun.com.au/jeunepark/ or follow Jeune Park parkrun on Facebook.
