Parkrun Corner
With Manor Park unavailable this week, several harriers took the opportunity for a spot of parkrun tourism and achieved some great results. David Chrystie-Lowe achieved an all-time parkrun PB of 20.39 at Stretford, daughter Rosa finished 2nd lady at Oxford and Paul Drury became the first harriers to run at Chadderton Hall. Run of the week was by Steve Crossman who was 1st at Marple hotly pursued by Sam Gregory, who along with other youngsters Paul Peters and Jonathan Whitehead achieved personal best times, all showing great promise for the future. PBs at also for Kirsty who was also 1st lady and Matt C, 12 runners all together in Brabyns. Well done everyone!
