There were a few hardy Peelers at Kingsbury Water Park on Saturday morning for the 300th running of the parkrun, although many elected to rest ahead of the Burton 10 mile race on Sunday.
First home was Mark Webster who finished in 19th place overall in an impressive time of 19.32 mins. He was followed by Darren O’Leary in 23.29 mins with Sandra Ingram next in 27.13 mins followed by Alison Upton (28.35), Michael Stevenson (28.42), Sarah French (31.39), Jo Insley (33.15), Wendy Bowyer (33.38), Ash Goodman (33.55), Nicola Bannister (34.57), Alison Dolphin (36.56) and Chrstine Norris in 38.05 mins.
