welcome messages

PARK2PARK TEAMThe 2013 Ipswich Park2Park is all about champi-oning last year’s event in number of registrations and adding value for you, our sup-

porters. To ensure a seamless and enjoyable morning, the list of events offered at the Ipswich Park2Park now includes a NEW 5km Walk and the existing 5km run, 10km, half marathon and family challenge. The addition of a 5km walk event will limit congestion in the 5km run.

This year we have experienced an overwhelming number of personal trainers and fitness groups register their interest to help Park2Park participants in training for the race – some even donating the proceeds to us! It is pleasing to see so many different groups scattered around Ipswich preparing for the Park2Park and gener-ally being active and healthy. I think we can safely say the fitness levels of our P2P participants will be at an all-time high!

The Ipswich Hospital Foundation are in a great position of privilege. We have the opportunity and avenues to fertilise and grow the health services in our community and the Park2Park is an avenue for this. We truly could not do this without you.

We hope you all agree that spreading the health message, raising funds and painting the town green with the Park2Park movement is a great way to spend a Sunday!

Beneficiary of the Park2Park

Thanks for your support!
