πββοΈπββοΈ Redcliffe parkrun #447 β 17 October 2026
π¬οΈ Well, that was a wild one! π§οΈ
The wind certainly made its presence felt on the Redcliffe foreshore this morning! Thankfully, the rain held off for the first 40 minutes before joining the party, making conditions pretty tough for both participants and volunteers.
Despite the challenging weather, 152 hardy souls braved the elements to run, jog and walk our beautiful 5km course. π
We welcomed 23 first timers to Redcliffe, including Samara Budic, who completed her very first parkrun! What a morning to make your debut! π±
π₯ 12 PERSONAL BESTS!
Achieving a PB in those conditions deserves some extra recognition! Congratulations to:
Joe Keegan β’ Milo Presland β’ Shennae H β’ Louise Keegan β’ Deanna Lorrine M**h β’ Jacilin Henderson β’ Zayna Sutton β’ Jacinta Kellaway β’ Christy Ward β’ Jennifer Power β’ Ian Parker β’ Rachel George
