Ashford Striders were at Ashford Parkrun to celebrate run leader Rachel Brisley’s 100th Parkrun in Victoria Park on Saturday. This is a tremendous achievement and shows dedication and commitment to the weekly run.
First home for Striders and 12th female finisher overall was Alison Waters in 25:54, who was also 1st in her age category. Rachel Brisley completed her centenary 5k in a time of 28:53 with Kevin York just one second behind in 28:54. Libby Matthews finished in 32:38 followed by Allison Button (35:47), Toyah Bicker (37:00) and Pam Hunt (37:23).
