The RUNdown

All eyes on parkrun!

This weekend marked another of the Winter Champs parkrun races, this time a Beacon Hill where an impressive 4 Barrow Runners finished inside the top 10 and a Haul of course PB's. There were ~47 of our Runners taking part in a scramble for points, or in some cases just to enjoy the outing and promise of the usual Barrow buzz and social afterwards in the cafe. A handful of other club members ran at some of the other park runs on offer that weren't closed due to flooding and put in some great efforts.
