Locally, twelve Striders ran the three laps of Astbury Mere which make up the 5k route of the Congleton parkrun. Evidently most Striders were still shrugging off their seasonal excesses as there were no new personal best times this week.
The full results were as follows:
20:53 Andy Thomas21:10 Nick Hogan23:08 Tom Mayell24:21 Terry Coppenhall24:23 Paul Nicholls24:25 Rachel Green24:38 Jason Bulley24:50 Denis Culloty25:03 Stella Stilwell28:55 Darren Varley31:28 Tracey Hale34:39 Craig EdwardsFran Gilchrist continued his run of good performances at different parkruns around the country by participating in the one at Alexandra Park in North London. Known to locals as Ally Pally parkrun, the event consists of two laps of the 80 hectare landscaped park, nature reserve and borough of importance for nature conservation. Fran finished the course in 23:14
