Inverclyde Now Logo TWENTY-Two Newcomers At Greenock Parkrun

5 June, 2018 | Local

GREENOCK parkrun welcomed 22 people running the five-kilometre Esplanade course for the first time, among 143 participants on Saturday.

Six had never participated at any parkrun before while the other six were well-travelled — their most-attended runs were Southampton, Eastleigh, Chippenham, Brueton, and Fulham Palace.

Despite the heat, 23 runners recorded personal best (PB) times including overall first finisher Chris Barlas. Pacing at Scotstoun the previous night must have been good preparation as he finished in 16:43.

The second to finish did not log their time while Steven Campbell came in third in 17:33.

The first female was Anna Lawson in 20:56, with Lauren Reid second in 22:42 and Cheryl Thomas third in 23:08.

First junior was Alan Mollins who was fourth overall in 17:42.
