There were a few highlights on a warm parkrunday: Coventry parkrun was excellently directed by our very own Sue Gough; congratulations to Imran Ali on his 100th parkrun; and Andy McIntosh enjoyed the hospitality of Antrim parkrun on his travels.
A bumper parkrun weekend with Wayne Broadbent and Jane Edwards hitting their century of parkruns, with Wayne securing a new Leamington PB in the process. Darren Hallett seems to be enjoying the Polish hospitality as he smashed his previous PB with an 18:12 time and 7th place.
Elsewhere there was plenty of parkrun tourism in evidence. In addition to Darren at Krakow, Tom Marchi made his debut at Southend, Alex Bartlett making his bow at the impressively title Queen Elizabeth parkrun and Jayne Phelps completed Daventry for the first time.

A mixture of Friday night/Saturday morning’s Earlsdon Wobbler and the Northbrook 10k looming on Sunday meant that numbers and performances were perhaps lower than they might otherwise had been.
The first-timer was Imran making his first appearance at Daventry.
