Erin Gummerson and Becky Miller took on the best young athletes from around the country and enjoyed testing themselves against a high quality field.

Erin was one of Humberside’s seven representatives in the U15 girls event and finished 280th in 20:32.

While they were flying the flag for Brid on the national stage, the club’s juniors continued to excel at Sewerby Parkrun.

Mollie Holehouse was first female in 22:19, while Laura Nurse and Lucinda Gibson continued their excellent improvement by setting new PBs again.
