Results for various ParkRuns, 26-Oct-2013

By Rob | October 26, 2013

Beachy Head marathon was chock-full of Sphinx AC runners this weekend, which had a noticeable impact on the number of our runners at various ParkRun events. Nonetheless, we still had good representation and a few PBs.


Ashton Court (Bristol)

Bernard Blundell represented Sphinx AC at this charming event, set in the stunning grounds of Ashton Court Mansion in Bristol. The course is a curious physical anomaly, being uphill ALL THE WAY*.

  • This isn’t entirely true, but it feels like it is. The course is 1.5 miles out, entirely uphill. There’s then a plain u-turn, followed by 1.5 miles back entirely downhill. The uphill half, on fresh legs, took 13:22. The downhill half, on tired legs, took 10:02.

Coventry

23 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with 1 first-timer and 1 PB.
