Strong turnout at the Clair parkrun on Saturday

127 runners took on the course this week with 18 ‘first timers’ and 28 athletes achieving personal best times. The sustained strong turnout at the event points to the popularity of running in the local area.

Nine runners from Haywards Heath Harriers were out, with a handful of others running at the Preston Park event in Brighton.

First female and just 2 seconds outside her course PB was Harriers’ Kat Barrett (21:47), with first male Harrier Julian Boyer in 10th position (21:37).
