Ashford Parkrun
The car park chaos at start of Ashford Parkrun did nothing to deter the band of 41 Striders on what was a rather chilly Saturday. Parkrun had requested that as many runners wear red to support their collaboration with Comic Relief and safe to say that wasn’t a tough job for Striders ❤️
There were a couple of milestones at Ashford: Aimee Donohue celebrated her 25th Parkrun. Jack Farrant earned himself an Ashford Parkrun PB with 21:46 along with Graham Troman achieving a PB of 24:27 – impressive work!
Adam Booth was first Strider across the line with a time of 18:45, followed by Keith Haynes with a time of 19:27, and Andrew Maund third strider, with a time of 21:13
They were followed by Jack Farrant 21:46, Terry Sellen 23:49, Daniel Schwartz 24:14, Graham Troman 24:27, George Phillips 25:18, Ian Mccutcheon 25:23, Scott Hawkins 25:42, Stephen Cleaver 25:59, Darren Laker 26:26, Nicola Crawley 27:08, Jamie Bartlett 27:59, David Helme 28:18, David Gadsby 28:21, Tamsin Ritchie 28:24, Jo Mason 28:33, Amanda James 28:50, Aimee Donohue 30:49, Gayle Bailey 31:03, Jayne Hatton 31:09, Andy Found 31:11, Sharni Copham 31:16, Catherine Wall 31:47, Justine Wearn 33:08, Dave Warner 33:29, Brian Forrester 33:37, Sara Dewar 33:50, Leigh Freeman 33:58, Rachel Oliver 34:52, Sally Davidson-daniel 36:00, Cara Linin 36:02, Rachel Tomsett 36:17, Lee Standen 36:18, Ash Robinson 37:53, Julie Foster 38:32, Jennifer Watts 39:51, Hazel Forrester 39:52, Holly Forrest 41:42.
Mandy Cooper was the fabulous Run Director and what a great job she did controlling a noisy rabble at the back during her speech 😉 other Strider volunteers included: Don Dewar, Justine Wearn, Kevan Strand, Nicola Crawley, Simon Jackson and Terry Sellen
Without these fantastic volunteers none of us would be able to take part in parkrun so please do put your name down to help out if you can.
