parkrunday 9th May 2026

This week there were 54 HPH women and 56 HPH men out parkrunning across 44 venues worldwide.

Fifteen Hyde Park Harriers travelled to try out a new course. One of these was new to the HPH list. This was Barry Curtis in New Zealand by Christopher Kemp and Chloe Wilson.

Barry Curtis parkrun takes place in the park named after Barry Curtis in Flat Bush – a suburb of Auckland. Sir Barry John Curtis was a New Zealand politician, who served as mayor of Manukau City from 1983 until 2007. When he announced his intention to retire in 2007, he was New Zealand’s longest-serving mayor at that time. At 230 acres the park is one of New Zealand’s largest. Key features of the park include a multi-sports complex; sports fields and training facilities; a cultural lawn and an amphitheatre for large scale events; Large theme playground; Picnic area with covered facilities; Wetlands with ponds and boardwalks; an education centre; neighbourhood parks with community focused playgrounds and facilities; signature areas with characteristic tree plantings, sculptures and recreation areas. The parkrun course is two laps that take in the John Walker Promenade, petanque pitches, a church and graveyard, and storm water ponds. The parkrun is now a regular venue for a former Woodhouse Moor parkrunning legend – Shamiso Mawer. Steve Darby and Hannah Oldroyd have also made appearances there.

There were four first finishing Hyde Park Harriers. These were Coralie Bell in a PB time of 18:11 at Woodhouse Moor; Michael Vargas in 18:29 at Wetherby; Richard Knighton in a PB time of 19:01 at Rothay Park; and Amy Ramsden Young in 19:51 at Skipton. There were seven other PBs.
