Dawesville parkrun #572 – Headwind? What headwind?! 🌬️
A crazy headwind on the journey back made sure you earned every single metre today, testing the legs (and possibly the patience!) of all 85 of you who tackled our course.
But clearly, the wind wasn't going to stop everyone, with 11 of you achieving PBs! That's seriously impressive given the conditions. Huge congratulations!
Of course, it was just as windy for our fabulous volunteers, and a massive thank you to our team of 13 who braved the elements to make today's event happen:
Irene, Matilda, Stewart, Lynette, Mark, Jo, Sue, Rachel, Sam, Tom, Janine, Caitlyn and Christine.
We had some fantastic milestones to celebrate today:
Jo – 50 volunteer milestone!
Stella – 10 parkruns!
Dimitra – 25 parkruns!
Caitlyn – 150 parkruns!
We also welcomed some first-timers to the parkrun family. A big Dawesville welcome to Taneal Wood, Vicky Brown, Marina Puntigam, Alan Brown, Desley Mackenzie and Shelley Price. We hope you enjoyed your first taste of parkrun and that we'll see you again soon!
And a warm welcome to our visitors from Adelaide, Albany and England, along with anyone else visiting us today. We hope you enjoyed a little taste of Dawesville hospitality (and perhaps a little too much wind!).
A quick note about results: There seems to be a hiccup with the system sending out results emails today. The good news is that results have been processed and are available to view through your 5K parkrun app or online here:

We'll see you next week – same time, same place, same amazing community. Hopefully with a little less headwind!
