Umbrellas became mandatory kit for volunteers and more than a few participants when an egg-stremely wet Easter edition of Weipa parkrun was held on 19 April. Photo: Facebook (Weipa parkrun).
Participants were met with egg-stremely wet conditions when a field of 43 turned out for the Easter edition of Weipa parkrun on 19 April.
Before we go any further, there will be more Easter word play before the end of the article – most of it concocted by the parkrun crew – so brace yourself.
Five newbies tackled the 5-kilometre circuit, including Tynan Cox, who recorded a scintillating time of 18 minutes, 12 seconds to be the first male to greet the judges and put a gap of more than three minutes on parkrun veteran Ross Dawson (21:26) in second spot.
Anna Hutchins stopped the clock in an egg-cellent personal best time of 22:55 to be the first female to greet the waterlogged timekeepers.
Joseph Webb, David Tuckwood, Lincoln Pullar, Hailee Ryan, Hunter Hutchins, Damien Fogarty, Mel Scott and Lyle Daymond chalked up the other PBs on a challenging morning on the circuit.
It was simply no yolk (again, not our original work, so please send the hate mail elsewhere) the event went off without a hitch thanks to volunteers Nicola Campbell, Michael Collins, Susan Tuckwood, Tash Tapper, Tobias Jukes, Meg Spearritt, Nanthini Kanthan and Keira Fogarty.
