Paul’s parkrun report
36 Striders helped boost the attendance at Sedgefield on Saturday. It was a club league event. At the start there were mentions for Gareth Maloney who was doing his 300thparkrun and Melanie Preece doing her 50th. Sam Johnston, Dan Meucci, Tom Holland, Kris Allen, Rob Parker, Emma Fleming, Beth Dang, Fran Corvesor and Gail Robinson recorded new personal bests. Grant Mcgrath made his parkrun debut. Abby Barker, Gareth, Jonathon Archer, myself and Tom Marrs got 70%+ age-gradings. Tom led the entire field home whilst Abby and Izzy Morgan were first and second ladies to finish. Even the rain at the end couldn't spoil another good event for the club. Elsewhere, another Strider was doing his 300th parkrun - and that was David Horton at Worsley Woods. Helen Mcilvenny (70%+) was…
Paul’s parkrun report
Cotsford Fields was the setting for another round of the canine league. I've no idea who did what in the dog world - however, for the humans, Katie Ayton and Tony Gallilee picked up new pb's. Elsewhere, Gareth Maloney got a maiden first place finish at Windy Nook. Stevie Cooper reached a 70%+ age-grading at Albert. Izzy Morgan was first lady to finish at Sedgefield and Michelle Hart was second lady home at Stewart. Tom Marrs (70%+) was third finisher at Hartlepool. Paul Grainge's trip to the Jersey parkrun earned him this week's tourism award. Striders too at Frimley Lodge (Farnborough), Hamsterley Forest, Belvoir Castle (Grantham), and Mote Park (Maidstone).

Cross Country Update and Fixture 1
We need to submit our runners details for Cross Country by September 17th which will only include those runners taking part in the first fixture on 9th October at the Acorn Centre in Middlesbrough. We can add runners through the season so if you can’t make the first fixture there will be opportunity to run at another event. The reason for change to registering as we go, rather than all at the beginning of season, is that across all clubs that entered 35% of runners who registered did not take part. To run in the cross county season you must be UKA registered and have a valid URN. So please comment below if you are wanting to take part in the first fixture on 9th October. Hopefully see a lot…
