parkrun round-up: 19th January 2013

louis

A heavy overnight snow fall made for difficult running conditions around Newcastle Town Moor on Saturday, but that didn’t deter 161 hardy runners from turning up and making the best of the situation.

In fact, with chances of running a PB all but buried in the snow, the spirit amongst the competitors was remarkably high, with most out to enjoy the occasion and have a great time with their friends and family.

14 Tyne Bridge members completed the event, with Tony Carter finishing 1st, closely followed by Marc Fenwick. However, run of the day must go to Darryl Davison, 1 of only 5 runners who managed a PB. At this rate we’re going to have to rename him Darryl ‘all-weather’ Davison instead of fair-weather. Special mention to Louis Goffe for volunteering as Lead Bike and doing his best to get around the course.

Meanwhile, Chris Thompson, a popular club member who sadly moved away due to work commitments, completed his first parkrun event in Chelmsford.  Well done Chris.
