Despite the mass Strider exodus to Bushy Park this week, Ashford Parkrun still saw 12 Striders in action with Keith Haynes and Dan Green leading the pack and Rita Cooke claiming the first lady place. Simon Jackson and Lee Standen were both amongst the many volunteers so thanks to both of you.
Onto the Bushy Park event and 44 Striders took part. An early start with the coach leaving Ashford at 06.30 did not deter the Striders who took part and again some fantastic results were achieved. Some raced it, others took in the occasion and the scenery and some treated it as part of their LSR’s but whatever they did, they all enjoyed it once they had got over the shock of the mass start 0f 1675 runners !!
Other Strider destinations this week were Dover Waterfront, Folkestone, Malling and Sutcliffe and all of the results can be seen below.
