Commitment and dedication to running were front and centre when two participants notched up special individual milestones at Weipa parkrun #396 on 14 December.
With the temperature soaring, even at the 7am start time, conditions tested the 23 participants who contested the 5-kilometre circuit.
Tash Tapper completed her 100th parkrun when she crossed the finish line on Saturday, doing so in a time of 27 minutes, 37 seconds to be the quickest female home.
Rose Robins also ticked off a major achievement by completing her Run Down Under with Run the World, a journey more than 14,000km in the making.
Michael Collins was the first male home in a time of 24:13.
Luke O’Day, Sam Aschenbrenner and Nigel Tait celebrated personal best performances in completing the course.
Leigh Jewell, Donna Jewell, Lily Jewell, Camille Freiberg, Fiona Dyer and Emma Eyre volunteered to ensure the event went off without a hitch.
Weipa parkrun is held every Saturday at 7am, with participants meeting near the hospital roundabout at Nanum.
