Happy 6th birthday to Coventry parkrun and happy 200th parkrun to Mitch.
A big thanks to Jason and the team(s) for their dedication over the last 6 years.
The conditions at Coventry were on the damp side with rain, rain and a bit more rain. Lisa and Lore didn’t allow that to slow them down and registered PBs.

A message from the Chairman re: Coventry Runner
As some of you may know, the Coventry Runner shop was broken into and hundreds of pounds worth of kit and shoes were stolen. The owners, Vince and Sandy Clisham, are very generous supporters of Sphinx AC races and would very much appreciate it if you reported to the police any instances of somebody trying to sell cheap running gear. Thanks, Paul
