The weekly parkrun event was taken over by headspace Bathurst and Marathon Health on Saturday to promote awareness of the correlation between exercise and mental wellbeing.
Participants were asked to dress in green, the colour of headspace’s logo, to show their support for the youth mental health charity.
headspace Bathurst programs manager Nicki Halliwell said the event was a great success.
“We are so pleased to be a part of a community that supports our initiatives,” she said.
“The event was a fantastic success and the generously donated Bathurst Physiotherapy barbecue was cooked to perfection by Rotary.
“headspace Bathurst would also like to extend their thanks to the Bathurst community for their ongoing support.”
