A total of 571 runners took part at Heslington parkrun event #84. This was this York event's 4th largest attendance as on this occasion horses were the animal getting in the way. The York parkrun at the Knavesmire Racecourse was cancelled due to Horse Racing so many decamped to the 2 other York runs.The course is one lap of the 1km tarmac cycle circuit followed by 3km out and back on block paved Lakeside Way and a final lap of the 1km tarmac cycle circuit. Easy to park and get to by bus. The man who just finished in front of me ( the oddly named Yorkshireman David Lancaster) asked me my age. When I said 60, he said 'Good' I'm 63 so I've beaten a fellow oldie. He said we would be 4th or 5th in the M60-64 but we were actually 1st and 2nd. Now, if only I'd got a better start...........

There were PBs for Cerys Walton (2 in a row and 00:16 off) , Debbie Keenan Brookes 00:39 (that's been coming for a while now), Paul Alland (3 in a row at Southsea and 00:38 and an All-parkrun PB too), Sarah Spragg (00:05 and starting to approach her Southampton time from 3 years ago), James Yorke, paced by Dan Bailey and Keith Caunt (00:57 an APPB, and approaching the time of Kev Budd) and Becci Knowles (00:26 and an APPB)

There were also fast times for Rebecca Niles (6th best anywhere and only 00:21 outside her PB) and Ian Briscoe (just 00:12) outside his best here. Michael Rae had the 4th best Age-Grade.

Andy Seek and Martyn Threader were among the volunteers.

Remember there is no Southsea parkrun on 19th October due to a re-routing of the GSR 5k. Lakeside may be crowded so maybe choose another nearby one or rest up for the Great South on the Sunday. I'll see many of you there and isn't it great that we have our shed for a base again! Good luck all.
