Parkrun
The warmest parkrun day of the year so far saw a good turnout of runners this week. At Ashford parkrun Kevan Strand was the first Strider to finish with a time of 21:23, followed by Jason Sanders 25:43, Darren Laker 26:20, Stephen Rumsey 27:33, Aimee Donohue 27:51, David Gadsby 28:25, Amanda James 29:18, Michelle Bryant 30:39, Siobhan Hagan 30:42, Richard Coles 30:43, Hazel Forrester 30:55, Brian Forrester 31:43 and Gwen Protheroe 32:53. Huge well done to Kevan, Darren, Aimee, Michelle and Siobhan who all recorded new course PBs!
A large group of Striders travelled to a slightly more chilly Whitstable parkrun, and some even had a dip in the sea afterwards! Justin Burden was first Strider home in 23:36, then Tamsin Ritchie 25:46, Nicola Crawley 26:11, Amanda Cooper 26:57, Peter Broom 29:06, Martin Whittingham 29:07 and Danielle Moss 42:32. More course PBs were achieved here from Justin, Tamsin and Nicola.
Travelling all the way to Clacton Seafront parkrun in Essex were Rachel Theobald and Kevin York, who ran together finishing in 39:19 and 39:21 respectively.
Hastings Half Marathon
Three Striders took on this challenging race through the historic town. Tamsin Ritchie completed it in 2:02:14, followed by Nicola Crawley in 2:10:44 and Peter Broom with a time of 2:25:00
Canterbury Riverside 10k
This scenic race follows the Stour from Chartham to the outskirts of Canterbury and back. A flat course meant that Kevan Strand achieved his second PB of the weekend with a time of 45:31. Also completing the race were Kirsty Theobald in 1:05:34 and Angie Craffey in 1:16:03
Well done everyone!
