Plenty of highlights at Coventry parkrun. Alex Bartlett ran his 100th parkrun and brought along a cake (very nice it was too!); Catherine Gough set and new PB and was first lady; Kevin Dick, Bryan McSharry and Sian Downing all set new PBs; and Ian Wilkinson completed his first walk-shuffle (his words, not mine) parkrun since his hip replacement – great to see him taking another step/stride in the right direction.

Well done to all.

Sphinx host Coventry parkrun (thanks, videos & photos), 16-May-2015

Thank you to all my Sphinx AC colleagues (and others) who helped out at Park Run today; it was very much appreciated. I think it was a success and we managed to distribute plenty of fliers for the Summer 5 as well. We have had positive feedback about the pacers ( a new initiative for Coventry Park Run) and hopefully they worked for those who needed them and we were not too far off the pace!
