A sunny Saturday morning brought out 21 club runners to run at 11 parkrun events.
A busy Bramhall celebrated its 14th year of park runs. Graham and family turned out as did Barry who was top AG runner with his fastest time since last July. Sharon was first lady finisher. Ian ticking off his Parkrun Series events. Paul top in his AC.
Tracy and Nic first timed at Stretford. Tracy with a smashing AG and Nic sub 24 again. John and Alan ticking off the Series list.
With the breakfast baron choosing to lunch in North London. Ladies who like to do Lunch And Prosecco and dancing chose to go up market at Congleton. Carolyn a second off her last parkrun time and Jan- only 4 more to her 200th – her quickest since 2020. Connoisseurs of post-race breakfast Ian and Roy took on Burnage. Ian after a 4-year absence was only 8 seconds of his 2018 time and his bets AG since his 2013 debut there gave the butties his seal of approval. Roy 19 seconds off his 2020 time.
Mike was back at Penrith; Colin was back at Blyth. Richard at Lyme Park was top in his AC. Janine first timed at Blackburn. Andrew PB’d by nearly 3 minutes at Stretford with a whopping AG too! His fastest ever Parkrun. James somewhere south of London nearly was nearly crowned King
It was very quiet at Wilmslow. Sam held on to be first one to finish. Rebecca pacing. Ian’s category record went as Edward Hitchin finished in 24:56
Apologies if I have missed anyone.

I think I need to do less lunch, Prosecco & dancing & more training!
Thanks for the write up Patrick, nice to see where everyone is running.
Carolyn
Thanks for your usual great report Patrick. Tracy and Nic ran at South Manchester, not Stretford.
I did notice that Peter Speake won the Air Products 10k over the Easter weekend. We used to have the race in our Summer Series. Well run Peter!
