parkrunday 8th December 2018

There were only 65 Hyde Park Harriers out parkrunning across 23 different venues this week. They were spread far and wide with Harriers spotted at Ashton Court near Bristol, Portrush in Northern Ireland, Drumchapel in Glasgow and Glen River Park in Cork, Ireland, which Gary Grant added to the Hyde Park Harriers venue list. Other new venues were Wendover Woods near Aylesbury by Tom Elcock and Steve Milne; and the wonderfully named “The Wammy” parkrun near Keele University and Newcastle under Lyme by Liz and Chris Jones. Liz was 1 second quicker than last week at Heslington so she gained another 60%+ Age Grade%.

Sarah Underwood was the only first finishing Hyde Park Harrier this week with her PB run at Middleton Woods in 23:14. There were six other PBs. These were by Scott Watson with 17:39 and Rafet Ongun with 24:14 at a wet and windy Woodhouse Moor; Poppy Forwood with 47:11 at Bradford; Cara Sass with 25:28 and Alys Griffiths with 25:37 at Middleton Woods; and Laura Edwards 28:08 at Armley.

Cara Sass and Richard Neal joined the parkrun 50 club with their runs at Middleton Woods and Woodhouse Moor respectively.

Top Age Grade% by the ladies was 70.03% by Amy Young taking it easy at Woodhouse Moor before picking up a prize for being speedy at the South Leeds Bah Humbug 10K the following day and for the men was 78.57% by Chris Jones at The Wammy.
