More than 80 Melton folk meet at the Toolern Creek early on Saturday mornings for some fun in the sun.
The Toolern Creek park runs were started earlier this year in a bid to get the town healthy, up and running.
And, according to event director Mark Porritt, it’s been a success.
“Melton doesn’t really have a running background so it’s been great to see so many recreational runners coming out on Saturday mornings,” Mr Porritt said. “The people have really embraced it.”
The group meets at Bridge Road, Melton South, at 8am every Saturday for a five-kilometre walk, run or stroll along the banks of the Toolern Creek.
Mr Porritt said many participants felt motivated by seeing their fellow runners get into shape.
“We really just want to provide people with the opportunity to get out and be active,” he said. “By having that weekly event, it gives people a reason to get up and turn up.
