A field of 91 participants comprised four first timers and representatives from six clubs when Weipa parkrun #409 turned purple for International Women’s Day on 8 March.
Jarrod Ausburn made the most of his visit to Weipa by setting a new personal best of 18 minutes, 46 seconds to be the first runner across the finish line, while young Ziggy Freiberg also completed the 5-kilometre circuit with a PB beside his name to claim second spot in 22:27.
Other PB performances went to Thomas Brewer, Steve Dunstone, Ryder Street, Alexandra Fetter, Lyndsey Fielding, Catherine Samuel, Nanthini Kanthan, Nicola Campbell and Prav Bharadwaj.
Marin Harada continued her patch of strong Saturday morning form to be the first woman home in 25:04.
Michael Reinke, Judey Haeusler, Ali Scott, Camille Freiberg, Tiffany Barber, Fiona Dyer, Elizabeth Filitonga and Nicole Pritchard were on volunteer duty for the event.
Weipa parkrun is held at 7am each Saturday, with participants meeting at the hospital roundabout in Nanum.
