Congratulations to our Sweatshop award winner for January |
|
|
We are pleased to announce that this month's Sweatshop Monthly Prize winner is Charlie FENTON
Congratulations to Charlie, who has been running with us for over 18 months and is now just two shy of his fifty. His somewhat erratic performances are part of his wonderful character as he varies his speed, helping other runners and rescuing stray dogs. On many occasions he has tagged me in the last km, with a final burst of energy that wouldn't be amiss at the Olympics.
We'd like to thank Hugh Brasher of Sweatshop for his generosity and to congratulate Charlie on his achievement. His prize is a new pair of running shoes fitted at the local Sweatshop.
The winner is chosen by the event director or members of the committee designated by him. The successful candidates are often chosen for their perseverance, number of PBs in one month, total number of runs and improvement overall. However, we can award the prize for other reasons at our discretion. If you know someone who has overcome adversity, personal illness or is deserving in any other way, please let us know by emailing MiltonKeynesoffice@parkrun.com and we promise to consider your nomination.

Welcome to 2012
So the new year starts in the same manner as the previous one ended with Gareth Snelson on a high (well, not in height terms, obviously ;-) ) as he once again PB'd knocking off another 9 seconds to finish in 19:37. At this rate he should be the fastest MK race director before the end of January - the challenge has been set!

Race Report – Event 103, December 31 2011 |

Adidas? Adios 2011
Where has the year gone? Our first run of 2011 on New Years Day, brought 102 runners out into the cold whilst our finale, in somewhat balmier conditions, had an amazing 281 finishers. This was our second highest ever attendance, beaten only by the previous week’s 309 (Christmas Eve). These two runs helped keep our average above the 200 mark, 204 to be more accurate. Incredibly this put us fourth in the attendance record with only the giants of Bushy & Brighton towering way above us, and Black Park managing just two more than us. So well done all Milton Keynes parkrunners!
Toeing the line at the start I was amongst some great runners – Paul Tew (8th, 19:03) was at his first run since July, John Skelton (6th, 18:30) has been missing for four months and was only 5 seconds off his PB. Spare a thought for Paul Douglas (3rd, 17:58) matching his PB of 15 months ago. He came third that day too, but won his next appearance. Maybe next week? Having said that, Paul, if you hadn’t waited for the pack to catch you up along the canal...
The first PB of the day was 14th placed Gareth Snelson (That is me, just in case you were wondering) in 19:46, an improvement of 1 second. All thanks to Nigel Sheppard (12th, 19:40). There were also PBs for John CHEAL, Paul MATTHEWS, Paul OLNEY, Kate BAKER, David COX, George GLINSKI, Simon SHARPE, Sarah LAYTON, Shona ADAMS, Russell ROSE, Andrew HIRST, Lindsay O'KANE, Jane KERINDI, Anne HULLY, Sophie RODWELL, Melanie WRIGHT, Sara MURRAY, Jo BEACH, Jason KWO TSENG VI, Donna LAW, Amanda PHILLIPS HODGES, Ned STEVENS, John Pascal KWO, Victoria Hannah JENNINGS, Aaron WOOTON, Sophie J BURTON, Philippa HODGES, Joanne BROWN, Katherine HANCOCK, and Mel PRITCHARD.
From now on if you forget your barcode you will no longer be getting a result. This has always been the official policy but we have tried to be lenient. Sadly this is no longer possible. PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR BARCODE!
