Now we don’t normally cover parkrun in the roundup as this is a run rather than a race but there’s a couple of notable shout-outs that is worth a mention. Laurie Cummings is making a name for himself around the UK as he clocked up his 92nd parkrun V80 record, the latest taking place at Windy Nook while Ollie Curran set a new JM10 course record for the South Park junior parkrun this weekend with a blistering 7min 22! Amazing achievements from you both.
