We had 5 runners at the Holme Pierrepont 40th Grand Prix during the week. This event is a series of 4 mid-week evening races set over 2 weeks. A 4 mile race took place at Rushcliffe Country Park on Tuesday evening and there was a 10k race at Holme Pierrepont Country Park on Thursday evening. Kathy Robinson, Nigel Hillier, Mark Sadler, Paul Leaney and Ann Hillier all took part.
Kathy Robinson took 1st F55 in the 4 mile race at Rushcliffe with Nigel Hillier taking 3rd M65. Kathy then took 2nd F55 in the 10k at Holme Pierrepont, and is currently leading the F55 category at the halfway point of the series. Well done Kathy!
The next two races are this week, with a 5 mile race at Colwick Park on Tuesday 2 July and a 5k race on The Embankment on Thursday 4 July.
On Saturday morning, we had Barrow Runners staying in The Midlands for their parkruns: Abbey Park, Arrow Valley, Beacon Hill, Braunstone, Clifton, Dishley, Rushcliffe, Watermead and Wollaton Hall. We had a few PBs and a couple of category wins, with Paul Bentley taking 1st in his age category at Clifton and Ian Paramore taking 1st M60 at Dishley followed by Mark Sadler taking 2nd M60. There was also a PB for Nell Steel at Watermead.
