Donaupark - Park Run

Our first holiday park run in Vienna ! Donaupark was the location only a metro ride and short walk from where we are staying.

Public transport in Vienna is excellent - we managed to arrive at Donaupark early which gave us a chance to have a walk around and get our bearings.

The Donaupark Park Run is three laps of the course - similar to the North Lakes Park Run - with probably only 1/3 of the runners !!

Andy and I took our photo with the park run frame !! A record of our run. Whilst trying to work out who to ask to take our photo a couple asked if anyone could take their photo - I jumped at the chance thinking we could then ask them to take to our photo. As I was talking to them - I recognised a familiar twang - ‘Are you from Australia ‘ I asked. Yes was the reply. ‘ Me too’ I said. Well our conversation progressed they were from Toowoomba and were well established park runners - nearly 200 !!

What a lovely small world it is 🌎 💚💛

Andy was 29th overall and I was 82nd - which in terms of overall placement in the group is about where I place at park runs at home - so I am no faster or slower in Vienna - good to know I’m consistent !
