Macclesfield parkrun was designated as a Road Running Club Championship race this weekend, and a grand total of 28 Harriers made their way down to our local parkrun. It was great to see so many of you on Saturday morning. The sun shone brightly highlighting the beauty of South Park but also serving to make the notoriously hilly course even tougher!
Jordan Cooper was first across the finish line in a time of 17:18 while Matthew Walker finished second in 18:04, Mark Walker in sixth was the third Harrier across the line with a time of 18.29. Egg Cameron was the first lady across the line in a time of 22:07, Sue Stockdale was the 3rd lady and 2nd Harrier in a time of 22:20 with Hannah Graves hot on her heels in a time of 22:23. Sally Ann Hales (23:48) and Jordan Cooper both set new course PBs, a fantastic achievement in this morning’s heat! Congratulations to all for some impressive performances!
