Summer Series, race 9 Sunday June 11th. I automatically entered Race the Train without checking distance or terrain. It was 11.3 miles, mainly trail, undulating and being point-to-point mainly uphill, albeit not at a gradient that gave you vertigo. This was a race to compensate those who do uphill…

Patrick, at Lyme Park, produced the run that may, with only 3 weeks left, have decided the first parkrun4 competition. Tony had led for all but one of the previous 22 weeks and significantly improved his Burnage time, but it was not sufficient to stop him slipping into 2nd. place.…
Summer Series, race 7 Sunday May 29th. On the Rob Downs time driving/time running ratio, Bamford looks a poor deal, one hour driving for 4½ miles running. But, as the times show, this was not your typical 4½ miles. Good value in my book. It was cooler than…

Tony, this week at Wythenshawe, tops the table as he has done for 21 of the 22 weeks. 4 weeks to go. Trevor, chaperoning his daughter at Burnage, has lost second place to Mark, who was improving his Lyme Park time. Nicky’s time at Burnage takes her above John, who…
Tony holds his lead, none of the top 7 were able to produce a time that improved their position. No update next week, cycling with Nicky and Jan, Carcassonne to Bordeaux. Nicky, completing her fourth course, Wythenshawe, moves-up to 6th. Ian’s time at Bramhall takes him to 8th. ahead of…
Tony under pressure but retains his lead. This first competition runs until the end of June. It’s not too late to get involved, email Ian for personal targets. You will need to have run at four different parkruns during the first six months of this year. Trevor, at Stretford, moved…
Summer Series, race 5 Wednesday May 3rd. I had to go back a long way in my records to find when I last ran Rainow – 1999. Work got in the way of my running in the early years of the new millennium but 1999 may well have been its…
Cheshire Grand Prix Summer Series, race 4 Friday April 28 Not only the Cheshire Grand Prix but also the English 5k Championship, some frighteningly fast runners from around the country. Not to take too much glory away from them, or us, NiftyEntries promote it hard as a PB course, which…
