parkrunday 7th March 2026

This week there were 55 HPH women and 67 HPH men out parkrunning across 53 venues worldwide.

Twenty-five Hyde Park Harriers travelled to try out a new course. Two of these courses were new to the HPH list. These were Bognor Regis by Cara Gates and Elemore Park by Joseph Wilson.

Bognor Regis parkrun course is four laps around the paths and alleyways of Hotham Park and its perimeter. Hotham Park was established by the founder of Bognor Sir Richard Hotham, who formerly resided at Hotham Park House (built 1792) which still stands within the park. The park includes an adventure golf course themed on forest animals from around the world; a new ability swing for wheelchair users; a ‘Highly Commended’ café; a boating lake; miniature railway; picnic areas; wildlife pond; arboretum; and formal planting.

Elemore Park in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne And Wear was established on the site of the old Elemore Colliery and golf course. The park is now a haven for wildlife and home to a café and garden centre. Throughout the year it is possible to see species like weasel, bullfinch, kestrel and jay. Whilst in the summer months look out for grasshopper warbler, yellowhammer and various species of orchid. The parkrun course is out, then two laps on mixed trail paths, before returning back to the start area to the finish.

There were three first finishing Hyde Park Harriers all on their first times at the events. These were Lucy McKerrell in 20:49 at Potternewton; Aisling Davis in 20:57 at Amsterdamse Bos and Tobias Adkins in 19:22 at East Holmes Field. There were eight PBs. These were by Gordon Crawford with 23:26 at Wakefield Thornes; Amber Edwards with 29:00 at Roundhay; Nathan Jeffs with 19:52 at Cross Flatts; Mark Deegan with 20:22 at Heslington; Lara Chapman with 27:24 at Yarborough Leisure Centre; Alys Griffiths with 25:22 and Jo Rhodes with 27:27 at East Holmes Field; and Emma Amor with 26:56 at Bo’ness Foreshore.

Aisling Davis joined the parkrun 100 club with her run at Amsterdamse Bos.

Top female Age Grade% was 71.10% by Lucy McKerrell at Potternewton and top male Age Grade% was 78.31% by Gordon Crawford at Wakefield Thornes.
