The RUNdown - 03 August 2026

A weekend of parkruns

This week saw a whole lot of parkrun action and not too much else (thankfully as I was tired after holidaying). Rachel and Nick were happy to finish their parkrun Alphabet. In order to avoid the wait for the much anticipated Zouch parkrun they visited Zielony Jar in Poland to complete the task. George made a rare parkrun outing whilst in Wales, adding another to the total 19 different parkruns attended by Barrow Club Members this week. Dawn Storer visited the new 3 Lapper near Lutterworth, Bittesby Country Park, whilst Katy Young Worked on her Wilson Index at Queensway. As usual from the club there were many impressive 'non race' times achieved, Liams 18:14 PB at Watermead being a great example! Well done to all our Juniors attending the Watermead Junior parkrun this week too!
