A free community run in Ocean Shores is happening every Monday morning, and organiser Giovanni Ginocchio encourages everyone to get involved. 

‘It’s for all levels and is non-competitive’, he says. 

‘We meet up in front of Kiso’s espresso bar car park every Monday at 5.50am for a 6am start, and finish around 7am’. 

The cafe is located in the southern end of the car park, near the Ocean Shores Tavern.


Support The Echo

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
