A few tourists this week.
Alastair CHO Houldsworth went to Cliffe Castle parkrun in completing in 21:48. Its in Keighley. It’s near Bradford. It’s pronounced Keeth-lee. Alastair Campbell and Mollie Sugden are from Keighley.
Sarah Ross went to Buckingham parkrun. It’s in Buckingham. It’s near Milton Keynes. She was 3rd female finisher in 22:48. Obviously quicker at parkrun than she is getting to New Zealand!
But the undisputed winner this week is Anita Piatek who completed the Main Beach parkrun in 32:49. This parkrun is on the Gold Coast of Australia. And it’s probably near a beach!
And ADav went to Orangefield 24:03
Waterworks junior parkrun:
Joseph Eager 9:35, Leo McAuley 9:36PB, Matthew Hawkins 11:02, Eloise McAuley 11:05PB
Plenty of Ready Brek in the McAuley household! (Other breakfast cereals are available).
Jordanstown Junior parkrun:
Riley Kerr 13:09, Rhys Kerr 13:57PB

Apologies if anyone else was missed as the results do not include club names.
Finally, Suzanne HOTM Brennan completed the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon in 1:54:40. The amount of wine taken or dine eaten has not been made available.
I note Hollie ran in a junior event on the same holiday. The Lord has a lot of catching up to do…….
As I write, Elaine Kennedy is still running the New York marathon. I’ll update her result in next week’s report.
In the meantime, here’s a wee song about NY to keep you going. (Not the obvious one).
Until next week, behave.
