So it was Halloween the sequel at Shipley Parkrun this weekend, not sure about any others. Another damp and drizzly morning didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of team Striders as 29 Parkrunners took on 8 different courses.
Headlines were 5 First Timers, one PB and one win! No prizes for guessing the winner – Martin Kerr smashed it at Markeaton with a huge winning margin of 47 seconds in a time of 17:10. Chris Sharp was at Wollaton and knocked 2:38 of his previous best to set a new PB of 23:26. On to the First Timers. Sally and Steve Cartwright were at Oaklands in Yardley, Matthew Henning visited Dewsbury, Niamh Hughes payed Finsbury a visit and Chris Wilshaw came looking for Ermentrude at Shipley – unfortunately she didn’t put in an appearance.
Shipley was also the venue for the first XC of the season. Race report to follow.
As always, great running everyone.
