It’s a fabulous, well organised race organised by Thorney Running Club. Having experienced the race in 2024 I was delighted to work with the club in my role as England Athletics Masters Programme Coordinator to add the Keith Hall Memorial 10k to the list of qualifying races for 2025.![]()

I developed an urge this morning to go and do a parkrun . As I was in the North West I popped over to Southport. The course was run entirely on tarmac paths within Hesketh Park. A most enjoyable way to start the day on Emma’s birthday. ![]()

This was followed as usual by coffee and cake at Caffè Nero and a go on the amusements. Happy Saturday everyone #parkrun #parkrunday #runningmotivation #running #mastersrunner #southport

24 years after competing at the Sydney Olympics Keri Lees returned to action in the W50 200 metres. Don’t say it too loud but Keri enjoyed the race, finishing 3rd in 28.3 secs. I think there will be more to come from Keri 😃![]()

Meanwhile Sue Kneill Boxley kept up her incredible record of winning championship medals and another Gold in the W55 800 metres. ![]()

Andy Cotterill had to adapt at short notice to the 800 metres being split into two races. After a good first lap of 64 seconds, Andy found the third 200 metres tough but recovered for the final 200 metres, finishing in 4th place. Having very recently moved up to the M50 category this is just the start for Andy.![]()

Yesterday, after minimal training following London Marathon and then a torn calf, Malcolm Down flew around the 400 metres in 65 seconds before dashing to Reading for a book launch. Our Malcolm is certainly a busy man 😃![]()
