A total of 315 runners took part at Southsea parkrun event #321. The course is..... oh you all know, a bit breezy usually!

Zoe Fitzgerald was very close to her PB and James Yorke smashed another 0:21 off his Southsea time and 0:14 off his All-parkrun PB. A couple of former BFC members were in the top 11 too. if you look at the full results.

Emma Jolley was 1st lady and 4th in Age Grades and I was 2nd. It was great to see Susie Tebbutt back running with young Arthur in the buggy.

You may wonder where all the other Baffineers were. Well, they were assisting on a Special parkrun project!
