Young competitor Arthur Campbell moved into veteran status on Saturday when he notched his 25th Weipa parkrun.
And what else do you do after hitting a milestone in the 5 km event? Eat cake, of course!
Arthur (30:05) finished ninth overall in the 43-strong field on 1 November.
Four runners recorded personal bests in the 443rd edition – runner-up Jason Smith (24:26), Adam McCluand (30:16), Inyika Nadredre (31:56) and John Whitty (33:24).
Three first-timers competed: Mike Fordham, Cooper Fogarty and Ashleigh Lievore.
Joshua Stanek (23:22) won the day; first female Kathleen Love (24:48) finished third overall.
Volunteers again made the event possible: Camille Freiberg, Denica Bowden, Fiona Dyer, Debra Hamilton, Julie Dore, Shane Dore, Nanthini Kanthan and Mia Dore.
The full results and a complete event history can be found on the Weipa parkrun results page.
Weipa parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. It starts 7 am every Saturday at the hospital roundabout shelter in Nanum.
Support for Arthur’s achievement was obvious.
