THE weekend saw the 1,000th registered Gorleston Cliffs parkrun entrant, David Oliver, who received a mighty cheer at the start.

Young Dominic Oliver of GYDAC, 15, led from the start (see picture) and finished in a brilliant 18:10. Second was regular David Hughes in 18:22 and third Chris Scott of Lowestoft RR in 18:43.

In the ladies’ race, visiting runner Laura Odell from Farnham and District AC won in 19:21. Donna Jones was second in 25:05 with Lorraine Dawson of GYRR third in 24:14.

In the points tables Darren Cains has a lead of 37 over David Hughes and Tabatha Sims a lead of 70 over Elaine Stone.

Elaine Stone received her 100 parkrun jacket and Nicholas Dyer his 50 T-shirt.

Last week, on the parkrun free run day, Vinney Jones completed 8.5 x 5k runs between 9am and 5pm. His split times were 20:40, 21:40, 21:44, 21:39, 22:17, 22:23, 22:19, 22:53 and 11:24 giving a total marathon running time of 3-07:02. These times are recorded on the back of Vinney’s orange T-shirt. Congratulations went to Vinney and to all those who ran more than one parkrun, raised �77 for the Active Children charity, supplied refreshments and volunteered to support the runs.

Special thanks went to Chris Harbord for directing the whole day.
