After winning last week’s inaugural North Yorkshire Water Park Parkrun, Bridlington Road Runners’ James Wilson returned to home turf and took the tape again.

He was first at Sewerby’s 5k on Saturday morning, dipping under 18 minutes, for a clear victory ahead of team-mate Phill Taylor.

The event’s only personal best from a BRR member came from Lucinda Gibson, who took 17 seconds off her previous best time around the course.
