Norton Collins made the most of his first Weipa parkrun when participants took to the 5-kilometre circuit on Saturday morning.
With many parkrun regulars on Run Port Douglas duty, 12 newbies dominated the field of 41 for the 436th edition of the weekly event.
Collins finished more than two minutes clear of the next participant to be the first home in 20 minutes, 5 seconds, with Jordyn Mulherin recording a personal best effort of 22:39 to be the first female across the finish line.
Rose-Beth Orman and Silvie Hines were the other runners to set PB times.
Many hands made light work of volunteering duty, with Chris Blythe, Claire Dore, Danielle Rodda, Julie Dor, Luther Freiberg, Matthew Bakes, Olivia Taylor, Phoebe Sceresini, Vide Freiberg and Zig Freidberg sharing the load.
Weipa parkrun is held from 7am each Saturday at the hospital roundabout shelter in Nanum.
