Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester was across the line first at Lakes Entrance parkrun on Saturday, and says it should never happen again.
Mr Chester (right) is pictured with parkrun volunteers Lynn Oates, Samantha Payne and Andrew Symons.
“The volunteers do a great job every Saturday to put on a free, 5km timed event on the foreshore and the numbers have dropped back a little in recent weeks,” he said.
“It’s a fun event for runners and walkers of all ages. While it was exciting to finish first on the weekend, surely there should be a heap of younger and fitter runners ahead of me next time!”
The Lakes Entrance parkrun is every Saturday from 8am at the rotunda on the esplanade.
