Gorleston Cliffs parkrun No 110, May 28

Exactly 100 intrepid runners, joggers and walkers assembled for this week’s event including many first timers.

Carl Prewer of Lowestoft Road Runners led from the start for his 11th win in 17:16.

Second, in an impressive personal best of 18.46, was Vinny Jones. This followed his excellent 3-12 time in last Sunday’s Edinburgh marathon and a few miles on the bike in-between. Third in 18:56 was David Hughes who moves into second place in the points league.

In the ladies’ race, Cheryl Holder of Purple Patch Runners was also a clear winner in 20:56 with Katie Samuelson of Cambridge and Coleridge AC in 21:31 and Shelley Smith of Lowestoft RR in 23:29 in second and third place respectively.

There are now 990 runners registered for Gorleston parkrun so the run should see a celebration of the 1,000th runner.

Next it’s the national parkrun Lucozade Runfree Taster Day and Gorleston Cliffs will be taking part.

Turn up in/with some form of orange gear, bring some cake to share, donate something to the Action for Children charity (suggested donation �1) and consider staying a little longer to do another 5k (on the hour every hour throughout the day), experience useful exercises, chat to others.

The main aim is to provide a friendly 5k or 2.5k running or walking experience to anyone who wishes to try this regular fitness-first event before becoming a regular Saturday mornings.

The normal timed run will take place at 9am with Lucozade to follow.

The Sweatshop prizewinner for May is Pauline Richardson.
