Five of those were juniors, led by boys’ captain Ben Edwards, who took 36 seconds off his previous fastest time to catapult into fifth place, writes John Edwards.

Evie Lakes, Ted Imeson, Tyler Choat and Oliver Stephenson also went faster around the 5km course than they had managed to before, some taking considerable seconds off their PBs.

Not to be outdone by the juniors, Gillian Taylor and Lucinda Gibson ensured the seniors were represented on the PB roll of honour, as both considered their fine recent form.

Phill Taylor won the Parkrun, taking the tape in 18 minutes exactly.

Nick Jordan was third with his fastest time at Sewerby for seven months, and James Briggs was just a second behind Edwards in sixth place, and Annabelle Miller was second female and 17th overall.

The Road Runners PBs were not confined to Sewerby as Paul Brown, Paul Raper and Rob Calthorpe improved their times at the new North Yorkshire Water Park Parkrun.

One other milestone from Parkrun at the weekend saw Amy Fowler complete her 250th event at Sewerby

Away from Parkrun, there was plenty of Bridlington involvement at other races.

Heidi Baker, Josh Taylor and Di Raper were in action at the York Spring 10k on Friday evening and a five-strong team were in yellow and black at the Ali Clark Memorial 10k on Sunday morning, formerly known as the Dalton Dash.

James Wilson was third to finish and first over 40.

Tom Mullen was eighth, with Graham Lonsdale, Janet Downes and Tina Calthorpe also competing.

On Saturday, Martin Hutchinson and Justine Sutcliffe took on The Kettlewell, a 23-mile Challenge Walk with 3,700ft of ascent in the Yorkshire Dales, and finished in under five-and-a-half hours.

Mike Hall was clocking up even more miles as he tackled the Montane Cheviot Goat WInter Ultra, over 55 miles

He completed the 14,000ft of elevation, with temperatures warm by day and cold by night, in a shade over 16 hours, battling through bogs and heather in one of the last wild places in England.
