The donkeys were derbying at Coventry so those in need of a prkrun fix travelled further afield. Congratulations to Alex Bartlett and Vicky Brewin on PBs at Rugby, Will Robertson on his PB at Leamington and Mick Pelling for PBing at Bognor Regis. Jackie, Katie Timms and Tom Padgett were firstt-mers at Penrhyn (photos below), as was Andy Hales, Andy Wilkinson and Rachael Allen at Rugby, Pete Fahy at Leamington and Imran Ali at Conkers.
Thanks to Mitch for the following report, and Jackie for the accompanying photos: Cilcain is a small picturesque village in Flintshire, North Wales, 17 miles west of Chester and 114 miles from Coventry.This fell run is the highlight of their annual August Bank Holiday show and has been held every year since 1960. This year the Red Arrows Display Team flew past to mark the start of the show. The race itself is a real treat!
Congratulations and well done to Darren Harriott and Alexander O’Brien on PBs at Coventry on Saturday, and to Andy Hales for a PB at Tewkesbury.

There was plenty going on a Coventry again on parkrunday, with Tony O’Brien completing his 50th parkrun and making it to the final of our parkrun competition - well done, Tony! Also, some Sphinxees were at the park earlier than usual to support Massey’s Dave Fawkner in his parkrun ultra. Dave was grateful for the support and has messaged: A big hello to Sphinx A.C. and thank you to those that came to the parkrun Ultra and supported my run To hear that an email had been sent to try and rally some support was unexpected, so the likes of Al rocking up at 2am in his Sphinx vest was amazing!
9 Sphinx runners took part in this race, organised by our friends at Massey Runners. This year it was a different distance - 5 km rather than 5 miles - and Jackie Timms secured an all-time PB for the distance.

Thanks to James Abrams for the following report: This was our 2nd visit to this late summer half marathon. Not as flat as I remembered! undulating with some small climbs towards the end. A two lap route in the shade of Burnham beeches woods. We always enjoy this event and it benefits from a great set up by Burnham joggers.Super medal and t shirt as always and I managed to shave a few seconds off last years time so all in all worth the trip.
