As usual, a smiling army of volunteers was on hand to ensure Weipa parkrun #410 went off without a hitch on Saturday morning. Photo: Facebook (Weipa parkrun).
Almost 20 per cent of the field of 71 participants notched up personal bests when they pounded the pavement for Weipa parkrun #410 on 15 March.
The highlight of the event was the participation of visiting parkrunner Sheridan Davis, who arrived from Brisbane on Friday with her father, Warren Williams, and flew out of Weipa on Sunday just to say she had laced up her shoes for Australia’s northernmost parkrun for her birthday.
Chrisden Russ was the first male across the finish line in 20 minutes, 46 seconds, while Emma Eyre’s 26:16 put her at the pointy end of female finishers.
Ryder Street, Scott Easter, Hailee Ryan, Finley Nadredre, Ravi Jyani, Lala Bowie, Ali Scott, Mallory Allen, Bianca Icke, Catherine Samuel, Nathini Kanthan, Nicola Campbell, Aloesi Poi Poi and Yavala Poi Poi were the 14 participants to notch up PB times.
Weipa parkrun is held every Saturday morning at 7am, with participants setting off from the hospital roundabout at Nanum.
