parkrunday 4th April 2026

This week there were 56 HPH women and 76 HPH men out parkrunning across 66 venues worldwide.

Thirty-three Hyde Park Harriers travelled to try out a new course. One of these was new to the HPH list. This was West Stow Country by Rob Riley. West Stow Country Park in Bury St Edmunds is 125 acres of unspoilt countryside, trails, heath and woodland walks surrounding a stunning recreation of an Anglo-Saxon Village. Visitors to West Stow can explore history and nature; watch a film; dress up as an Anglo-Saxon; or say hello to the rare breed pigs and chickens. For wildlife enthusiasts there are two bird hides and a bird feeding area as well as a lake and the River Lark with all the wildlife that this attracts. The parkrun course is a mixed-terrain cross-country route on hard paths, woodland trails and grass, with uneven ground, tree roots and some camber. The course includes two narrow gate points, so double buggies are not permitted.

There were three first finishing Hyde Park Harriers. These were George Anderson in a PB time of 17:37 at Kirkharle Courtyard; Amy Ramsden-Young in 20:08 at Castle Park; and Nick Shakhlevich in 18:12 at Millfield. There were thirteen other PBs. These were by Meg Coleman with 27:36 and Dan Lee with 40:08 at Woodhouse Moor; Poppy Forwood with 34:08 at Harrogate; Chris Worfolk with 23:25 and Gordon Crawford with 23:57 at Potternewton; Jack Holland with 19:17 at Norwich; Oliver Pryse with 23:00 at Walmer and Deal Seafront; Hannah Long with 36:07 at Whinlatter Forest; Anna Stocks with 27:41 at East Holmes Field; Paul Ramsden with 23:14 at Castle Park; Megan Foster with 23:03 at Shrewsbury; Daniel Roberts with 24:00 at Ditton Pastures; and Christopher Barr with 24:53 at Sutton Park.

There were no new members of the official parkrun clubs this week. However well worthy of note is Chris Jones reaching 800 parkruns with his run at Sherwood Pines. It’s the highest number by a current Hyde Park Harrier and puts him in 31st place overall out of the 7 million+ people who have done a parkrun. Nicola Forwood reached 777 parkruns with her run at Harrogate. This puts her in 48th place on the overall totals list.

Top female Age Grade% was 74.75% by Amy Ramsden Young at Castle Park and top male Age Grade% was 76.62% by Gordon Crawford at Potternewton.
