| Craig Ruddy Leads From the Start |
I'm having a week off of running, after the London Marathon, to help the old body recover from the experience. A wee swim in the hotel on Monday and then a couple of short cycles, to and from work, is all that I've done. It was back to taking action shots on Saturday and cycled along to Pollok Park to take a few snaps of the, almost 440, runners and walkers participating in the 171st Glasgow parkrun. The numbers had been swelled with a good turnout from, the colourfuly vested, Motherwell AC who had included the race as part of their club championships. Garscube, Clydesdale, Giffnock, Inverclyde, Irvine, Shettleston, Kirkintilloch, Law and other clubs joined with Kilmarnock's
Tom Wyper and
Elizabeth Mackie to make up a total of 105 Club runners. With more than three times that number not being affiliated to any club, there remains real possibilities for clubs to continue and expand their recruitment activities.
In his first attempt at the testing 5k, Inverclyde's
Craig Ruddy led from Start to Finish and crossed the line in an amazingly quick time of 15:07. Motherwell's
Chris MacDonald ran a PB but was still 101 seconds behind, just ahead of Cambuslang's
Greg Hastie, who didn't have a barcode.

| Jennifer Clark Sprints to Another PB |
There was a much tighter contest in the women's race, where Kilbarchan teenager
Gwen Gillham earned first place with a PB of 19:14, just edging out the challenge of
Julie Doncaster, who also ran a PB of 19:14. Bella Harrier,
Jennifer Clark continued her remarkable improvement, taken 16 seconds off of her, recently earned PB, to place third with a time of 19:48.
Congratulations to
John Softley and
Derek Murison who both chalked up there century of parkruns. Thanks for the cake Derek.
