A little bit later than usual but well worth the wait with 18 MAC’s running, walking or volunteering at 12 different parkrun venues this weekend. Star performance of the week goes to Kate Ruffell at Mansfield parkrun where her 4th lady and 30th place overall in 24.12 earned her a magnificent 79.06% age grading! Other notable age grading scores were achieved by Simon Fisher at Brierley Forest where his 18.21, 2nd place finish earned him 72.3% age grading and Sally Owen at the notoriously hilly Shipley Country Park parkrun where she ran a super 26.40 for 5th lady finisher and 67% age grading. Other runners with high 60% age gradings this weekend were Jon Tyson at Monsal Trail in 32nd position and 23.21 recording 66.95% whilst Sarah Witham at Poolsbrook ran 24.21 for 66.53% age grading. There was no extreme touristing to report this week although parkruns in both Scotland and Wales were used as warm ups for other more serious races over the weekend.
