With many runners in cross-country action the Sewerby parkrun saw a slightly depleted field of Brid Road Runners this past week.

However it gave Micah Gibson a chance to shine and take the honour of first male with a 20:36 PB for his home club. Matthew Colling took second place in the club rankings along with Steve Wilson in third.

Gillian Taylor had the honour of Brid Road Runners’ first lady and the second lady overall, Heidi Baker and Trish Watson completed the top three ladies for BRR.

Saturday, October 19, sees Sewerby parkrun’s 600th event.

Organisers are hoping for a bumper turnout of entrants as they are also holding another popular pacing event and encouraging as many as possible to get involved with the celebrations.

The events are always fun and well supported and with few big race events the day after it’s a great opportunity to be involved.
