Even an overnight low of 25.1 degrees could not wipe the smile off Weipa parkrunners when they converged on the starting line for instalment #393 of the weekly event on 23 November.
Twenty-seven competitors laced up to run, job or walk the 5-kilometre circuit as they challenged themselves against true build-up conditions.
Four personal bests were set on the day, including Jenna Edwards, whose PB time of 27 minutes, 6 seconds ensured she was the first female to cross the finish line.
Tyrone Tuckwood, Nigel Tait and Sam Aschenbrenner also made the most of the testing conditions to stop the clock in PB times.
Chrisden Russ was the first runner to say hello to the timekeepers with a 21:44 effort.
Volunteers Denica Bowden, Michael Collins, Aaron Dorsett, Malama Gray, Judey Haeusley, Donna Jewell, Lisa May, Rose Robins, Ayda Robins and Olive Robins helped the event to run smoothly.
Weipa parkrun is held every Saturday morning from 7am, with competitors assembling at the hospital roundabout in Nanum.
