Michael Calleja led home 58 other participants in last Saturday’s edition of the Lakes Entrance parkrun.
Calleja completed the five-kilometre course along the picturesque esplanade in 21 minutes and 23 seconds, with Lisa McGregor (23.59) the first female home in a personal best time.
The weekly sojourn attracted 15 first-timers to Lakes Entrance, including four completing their first-ever parkrun, while four people achieved overall personal bests.
Runners to achieve new personal bests included James Murphy (23.59), Kelly Smits (28.57) and Karin Brown (41.58).
Participants represented a variety of clubs, including Lakes and District Runners, Southern Peninsula Sporting Club, Everlasting Fitness Runners, Point Cook Runners and TXR Runners.
The highlight of the day was Andrew Symons achieving his 100th volunteering effort, a remarkable milestone.
Lakes Entrance parkrun departs from the rotunda at 8am every Saturday, welcoming participants of all ages and abilities. The weekly event continues to attract both locals and visitors, offering a social and inclusive way to stay active and connected.
