2022 John Roberts Summer 5K Series – Final Results

21 July 2022 - By Elizabeth Prior

What a night!

Firstly, the biggest of thank yous to everyone who volunteered at any of the races (a special shout out to Ann Johnson and Steven Alder who volunteered at all 4!). It might sound cliche, but these races genuinely cannot happen without you, so big love!

Secondly, congratulations to everyone who took part in any of the series, it’s been a blast!

We have three sets of results this evening: tonight’s 5k times, the handicap winners, and the series winners.

Result 1: Tonight’s 5k

As usual, I’ll start with the volunteer shout outs.
