Weekly Round up – 1st December 2025

Parkrun was the main focus this week with many taking in a nice cool and a little bit damp, Saturday morning run. 

At Tamworth Castle grounds, Lee Rickards finished in 1st place in a very impressive 18:59. He was followed by Roger Lloyd (24:27), Lydia Trenfield (26:19), Chris Bennett (27:14), Mark Boffey (28:34) and Jonathan Allen (47:10).

Kingsbury water park’s puddles were the attraction for a similar number. Ash Goodwin was first back in 9th place (24:32). He was followed by Simon Gordon (26:32), Garth Cox (26:56) and Jacky Tierney (31:29). 

Other events attended were Stuart Hatton (28:03) and Marcus Fairburn (28:20) at Beacon, Lichfield. Ian Orton was at Bestwood Village (23:57), Ben Dorkins at Chopwell Wood (25:04) and Michael Hughes (23:59) at Portsmouth Lakeside. Steering clear of Captain Hook were Joanne Sharman (33:56) and Steph Attenborough (35:39) at Peter Pan. 

Another great run from Emma Pick who finished 2nd and was 1st female at Coronation Park, in 18:48. 

And adding some early Christmas cheer  was Tracy Ford who took part in the 3rd Birmingham Mind Mental Elf festive fun run.
