Bridlington Road Runners already getting in the festive spirit
The start of December saw Bridlington Road Runners in a seasonal mood, with eight club members donning festive fancy dress and heading to the Yuletide Trail near York.
With outfits including a Christmas pudding and a snowman, the team completed a five-mile course, comprising two laps of woodland, fields and riverside views, writes John Edwards.
Jo Dagnan was the first female to finish, in 38:25, which put her 14th overall, with the rest of the team all enjoying a bit of festive fun.
That continued on Sunday, with Bridlington Lions Club’s Santa Dash on the promenade and clifftops attracting a number of Bridlington Road Runners, swapping their yellow and black kit for red Santa suits.
Although it was a fund-raiser rather than a 5k race, Phill Taylor was the first to finish despite pushing a buggy along the course.
Simon Ellerker was second, with club juniors Ben Edwards and Micah Gibson fourth and fifth.
Taylor had also won Sewerby Parkrun on Saturday morning, beating nephew Josh into second place.
Jonathan Ogden ran with his four-legged friend who helped him into the top 10 in a personal best time of 22:36, 50 seconds quicker than his previous best set two-and-a-half years ago.
Junior Becky Miller was first female, and broke into the top 20 for the first time, while another junior Lily Choat took nearly two minutes off her PB to finish in 32:50, and Ben Edwards completed his 50th Parkrun.
