There was plenty going on a Coventry again on parkrunday, with Tony O’Brien completing his 50th parkrun and making it to the final of our parkrun competition - well done, Tony! Also, some Sphinxees were at the park earlier than usual to support Massey’s Dave Fawkner in his parkrun ultra. Dave was grateful for the support and has messaged: A big hello to Sphinx A.C. and thank you to those that came to the parkrun Ultra and supported my run To hear that an email had been sent to try and rally some support was unexpected, so the likes of Al rocking up at 2am in his Sphinx vest was amazing!
