Parkrun and Ripper

Parkrun Newark

At this week's run Abi Schofield became the fourth different runner from Grantham Running Club to win the ladies' race in recent weeks firmly establishing the club as having the best strength in depth of quality female athletes in the area. On a day when conditions underfoot were treacherous Abi was able to use her cross country experience to good effect finishing clear of the second lady Penny Hodges also from GRC. Despite the mud and deep puddles GRC's Gordon Geach and Mark Hillson recorded PB's with Gordon finishing first in his age category.
