We had a lot of runners [23] at 3 events on Christmas morn. Some were suitably dressed fresh from dropping off presents earlier that morning.
Rob top on AG [83.72%]. Paul after his 550th Parkrun the previous morning was nearly half a minute quicker. As was Janine. Ex-member Rachael was back parkrunning after an absence of 6 years.
The Screawns ambled around South Manchester – no doubt saving themselves for the Xmas Handicap.
That just leaves a busy Wilmslow. Nineteen club runners were out. I don’t believe that any major records were set. Rebecca first lady home. Ashley our first club member home in 9th position. Nice to See Jon and Mick out. Sam out with his family.

- Busiest: South Manchester [370]; Quietest: Wilmslow [257]
- Tourists: Various Santa Claus’s and elves
- First finisher: Rebecca
- Top AG: Rob
- 80+ % AG: Rob [83.72%]

Thanks Patrick for another great round-up pf events. Christmas Day was challenging for Ian and I after running hard the day before at Alexandra Park. It was good to see so many club members enjoying the festive spirit.
