Finally a total of 130 runners took part at Queen Elizabeth parkrun event #325. Even more BFC (32) were here after the club held a vote on where to go instead of the usual Southsea. The run was won by a 13 year-old I used to try to pace to under 21:00 only a couple of years ago!. He was using it as a tempo run! Daniel Walton ran a superb PB 7:55 and one of his best anywhere given the hills and heat. Run Britain graded the run as 6.0 the most difficult that I have seen on their website! There were also many running for the first time here and QE PBs for James Alex Millham 0:05, Mathew Hume 1:57, Helen Mayhead 0:03, Kev Budd 1:42, Vicky Anderson a massive 8:02 and Richard Stevens 2:35. Louise Griffin was 1st female finisher too, our fastest lady here now!
