The RUNdown

A bumper Christmas and New Year double issue this week dominated by Parkruns in many and varied locations, including the Clifton Parkrun on New Year's Eve as part of the Winter Championships, where 25% of all the runners were from Barrow!

The RUNdown - 02 January 2023

The extra Parkruns on Christmas Day and New Years Day meant there were lots of top spots in evidence!

There was also a select representation at the Huncote Hash 10k on New Years Eve.

Wishing all our readers a Happy & Healthy New Year and good luck for your running adventures in 2023.
