Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Airlie Beach parkrun

On a refreshingly overcast Saturday 62 motivated people ran, jogged and walked the 5km waterfront course. We had 15 first timers from locations such as South Australia, Victoria, Cairns, Brisbane and Mackay and Damien Campbell recorded a new Personal Best.

The event was made possible by 13 wonderful volunteers: Tim Oberg, Bob Barford, Kara Olver, Lesley Barford, Greg Olver, Toma King, Darlene Reid, Wade Whincop, Christopher Harvey, Susanne Willmott, Laura Oates, Louise Cox and Rosalie Crank.

This week’s first female finisher Brigitte was visiting Airlie Beach parkrun for the first time and was only 1 second off the female record of 18:56 that's currently held by Alex Stevens.
