Gorleston Cliffs parkrun No. 156, 14^{th April 2012 - Report}

In nice conditions for running a good turn-out of 110 runners saw nearly a quarter of the field achieve personal best times. Ted Oldman won the men’s race for the 8th time and Penny Studley the ladies race for the 14th time. The parkrun is a fitness effort for anyone and it is good to see more families taking part with mum, dad and the children all running.

Next Saturday marks the Gorleston parkrun’s third birthday, how time flies, so St George’s day fancy dress is an optional extra.
