Week 27
On what was quite a humid morning for parkrun, a staggering 41 club members made the effort to get out of bed and sweat it out. Not only that, they did so across 12 different courses across England and Wales!
Furthest travelled was new member David Ba all the way down at Lanhydrock parkrun in Cornwall, and over at Sewerby parkrun near Bridlington on the east coast, Daisy M made her debut.
In Llangollen in Wales, Simon B visited the Old Railway Trail parkrun for the first time, and Danielle S made her debut at South Manchester parkrun also winning her age category! Finally on the parkruns further afield, Nicky P was at the Luton Wardown parkrun.
Our north-east member David Br, made his first visit to Blyth Links parkrun, collecting his first "B" parkrun!
There were a few parkruns visited closer to home, with Dan W and Martin S both getting course PBs at Beeston, and there was a posse of first timers at Bestwood Village parkrun, meeting there purely by accident, with Julie M and Fiona F bumping into Alyson W, Samuel B and Tomas H. Fiona was first in her age category and Sam took 6th place - pretty impressive considering one of the steepest parkrun hills in the country there.
Duncan C visited Bramshall Road in Uttoxeter and was first in his age category, and at Long Eaton, Matthew S finished in a fantastic 2nd place in 17.23 only to be pipped by GB athlete Ellie Stevens by 4 seconds! Outstanding! Kieran M grabbed a course PB and Ciaran M finished first in his age category with Thomas S making his first visit.
Finally, at Alvaston where 21 of our members were in attendance, Gemma M, Richard B and Sarah R all helped out with the volunteering - many thanks folks! On the running side Connah B was first in his age category along with new member Lisa D, and Kevin P who also got himself an excellent course PB.
Wow, that was a lot to get through! Once again some fantastic Saturday morning running! 💚💜
