Moving over to Nottinghamshire at the very undulating Gedling parkrun Luke Beresford was first finisher in 18.33 whilst Jay Bird had a shocker finishing 77th in 29.55. Meanwhile over on the other side of Notts at Beeston parkrun, Rob Scriven managed to navigate safely around in 25.28 for 105th place whilst Sarah Witham possibly fresh from resting last weekend managed a much more impressive 22.54 for 55th and 5th lady. Dropping down one more shire county to Leicestershire,
Dennis Holmes extended his tourist streak to 23 events with a steady 24.50 (42nd place) at Abbey Park whilst Lisa Walton ambled around in 30.24 (113th) but more importantly got her lowest required Wilson number 4!
Penultimately just one more county South Gav Elliott was spotted running a good time of 21.39 (46th) place at Bedford parkrun thereby leaving only our current tourist champion Kate Ruffell to be able to retain her trophy for another week by completing Sharpham Estate parkrun right down in deepest Devon.
