There was also a Welsh parkrun completed this week: Brynaman was visited by Daniel Griffiths (22:27) whilst up in Scotland was Nicola Digby (34:10) completing Holyrood.

Then, much closer to home, at Maldon Prom was Jamie Marlow (19:57), Peter Banks (22:33), Dean Whittaker (23:41), Alan Cutler (25:33), Steve Hookings (25:55), Nichola Beazeley (28:00), Chris Beazeley (28:01), Louise Darcy (28:04), Christine Israel (30:13), Ian Cuthbert (30:13) and Joe McEwan (50:03).

Walton Promenade had regular Michael Poulter (33:13) – his 14th there now! Near to Wales, ready for the race in Cardiff, was Bristol’s Eastville with Sian Tate (29:06) and James Attenborough (29:08).

North of home was Adam Hocken (26:57) in Fell Foot, Newby Bridge whereas in the other direction was Glen Waller (24:58) completing Dover Waterfront. Cathryn Mills (32:35) was doing the southernmost and westernmost parkrun of the mainland UK at Land’s End.

The full set of results can be found here. Just a reminder to add Witham RC to your parkrun profiles. We’ve sometimes added photos of people at a parkrun but they’re name isn’t mentioned in the reports because they’ve not added Witham RC. It’ll be great to add more names in, especially when going to a different location. We can’t add it to your profile on your behalf (make sure you choose Witham RC…. not Witham Runners, Witham Rugby Club or Witham Hockey club).
