Category Parkrun

So another Saturday and another parkrun comes along, this time it was time for Jack to face off against Alan, in a fiercely contested 5K with Alan just managing to pull away with a time of 20:24 and Jack chasing hard to finish in a time of 20:43. This is his first parkrun for a while with minor injuries putting him out of last weeks Time Trial, I’m sure they’ll push hard over the winter months and continue to get closer to that sub-20 finish the both want at Black Park! In other news Linda also managed to take nearly 3 minutes off her time 2 weeks ago, getting ever closer to that PB that has eluded her for so long.

Plus we’d like to say that Fran and Andy’s puppy is super super cute, and thank them for bringing him along to support!

Today’s Results

After having not done the parkrun in just over 6 months, Gary Nisbet came home to show his class today, managing to hold off a challenge from Gladstone Parkrun race director, coming home in first place in a time of 17:23, with a massive 40 second pb. We hope

he’ll manage to work on that time in the future and get a few more wins under his belt.

There were also some great performances from Saturday morning runner Fran and Denise, who came round in 28:06 and 35:10 respectively.
