Six first timers had their inaugural Weipa parkrun experience when a field of 41 participants pounded the pavement on Saturday morning.
Chrisden Russ mirrored his effort from the previous weekend to be the first parkrunner home in 19 minutes, 59 seconds, with newbie Steve Macintyre (22:52) beating Michael Collins (23:09) to the finish line to round out the first three.
Leanne Cordero set a personal best effort of 25:42 to be the first female to wave good morning to the timekeepers.
Matthew Bakes and Annie Kabamba were the other participants to complete the circuit with a new PB time.
Chris Blythe, Donna Jewell, Georgi Jenkins, Georgia Stoddart, Jemma Collins, Karishma Maganlal, Rose Robins and Vandana Chaturvedi volunteered to ensure the 431st instalment of the weekly event went off without a hitch.
Weipa parkrun is held every Saturday morning at 7am at the shelter opposite the hospital roundabout on the corner of John Evans and Kerr Point drives.
