With Ashford Parkrun cancelled this weekend, many from Ashford Striders engaged in a little Parkrun tourism at alternative locations both near and far.
A group ran at Folkestone with Jamie Bartlett bringing it home first for the club in a time of 24:15 in 68th place overall. Corrie Shackle was second for Striders in 27:39 and 26th female finisher. Cris Francis was next in a time of 29:38 with Rachel Oliver completing the course in 32:57. Louise McDonnell (34:07), Katie Iggulden Exon (34:07) and Tyree Spicer (34:08) completing the turnout. Louise has recently taken part in our “5 weeks to 5k” group and has improved her times week after week, with another minute taken off her previous personal best this week.
Jason Sanders ventured further afield to Malling finishing in a time of 24:49 putting him in 59th place overall and 7th in his category.
Nicola Crawley travelled to Greenham Common where she completed the 5k in a time of 25:23 which placed her in the top 20 female finishers and 3rd in her category.
