Parkrun Sat 17 Dec 2016

Joe Read and Oliver Paulin (Coventry Godiva) had a good old festive throwdown on Saturday. Both tore up the Brueton park leaving a trail of broken runners behind them. Joe Read very nearly ruined Christmas in the Sharp household as his brilliant battle with Paulin led him to a new PB of 16:10. Equaling the men’s club record currently held by Chris Sharp. Congratulations to Joe on a stunning run. We look forward to the battle of the heavyweights in 2017 when Joe Read and Chris Sharp go head to head over 5k. Box Office.

Behind Joe (way, way, way behind!) were plenty of others on the crisp parkrun morning. Gareth Wainwright was second K&D’er in 17:13 followed by Tim Price in 17:54.

First K&D Lady was Elaine Callinan in a new PB of 23:08. Sarah Cattell wasn’t far behind in 23:56 and in third was Karen Stapley in 26:04. Always great to see new names cropping up on the top-3’s. Well done ladies! Read more
