It’s a holiday weekend and parkrunners were out in force throughout the country meaning a record national attendance of over 120,600 athletes completing an event. Hand in hand with that goes record attendances at many individual events such as Keswick and Bideford where there were Striders in attendance. Tees Barrage also saw a new record attendance including 28 Striders and new PBs for Teresa Parker, Drew Smallwood and Leah Fletcher.
Of the 13 Striders who ran Albert Park, Sam Johnston continued his sequence of PBs and Rachael Hall added another one to her list. I always feel any 80%+ age grading is worth a mention – well done Caroline Horton.
There were Striders at lots of other locations including Stewart Park, Hartlepool, Newcastle and Ayr.
At Penrith Finlay Pennington grabbed a PB, as did Helen McIlvenny at Lancaster.
Doing the double at Northallerton, John Dodd collected both his 50th parkrun and a shiny new PB.
