Bridlington Road Runners' James Wilson earns ninth place at Walkington 10k

James Wilson’s fine recent form continued as he dipped under 35 minutes to claim ninth spot and fastest over 40 on Friday evening, writes John Edwards.

There were also age group prizes for Diane Palmer (second over 55) and Bob Eyre (second over 75).

In the handicap standings, Amy Fowler, Heidi Baker and Emilie Cawthorn were the top three for the ladies and Wilson, David Pring and Eyre took the honours in the men’s competition.

Phill Taylor was second and Annabelle and Becky Miller were second and third female at Sewerby Parkrun on Saturday.

The extended course, while pathways are upgrading in Sewerby Hall, is supposed to prevent personal bests and has managed this...until this week.

Junior Lily Choat put in a magnificent effort to complete the 5.5km course faster than she has managed the usual 5km route, and finished in the top 100.

There were also PBs at North Yorkshire Water Park, where ninth-placed Simon Walters got under 20 minutes for the first time, and junior Erin Jones was on form.

Club chairman Martin Hutchinson reached the milestone of 100 Parkruns at Sewerby.

Sunday saw the Junior Captain’s Challenge, a fun event organised by boys’ captain Ben Edwards.

The club’s juniors took on the senior runners, with the two teams trying to complete the most one-mile laps on the seafront in a three-hour period.

Despite soaring temperatures, many runners recorded remarkable distances, in some cases further than they have run before.

The seniors had the benefit of more participants and claimed victory by 278 miles to 192, but the juniors’ efforts were outstanding.

The event was in aid of the captain’s chosen charity, Cancer Research UK, and has raised £300 so far.
