North Harbour is a beautiful, quiet, small parkrun located midway between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast on, as you might have guessed, farmland being developed into a new housing estate. It runs alongside the Caboolture River and is most definitely a cross country course or a paddock run. If you want to see cows, you certainly will, and where there are cows there is cow poo and you'll spend much of your parkrun watching where you put your feet. It makes it a fun challenge different from what you'll find in most places, that is for sure! In all other ways, this course is great. With only 27 people in total when we were there back in 2019, we had a good old shot at finishing near the front. And we did, it was the first time we’ve ever finished first male AND first female as a couple at the same parkrun.
