Alex Bartlett ran this 10k and sent in the following report:
I did the Alice Holt 10k in Surrey on Saturday, coming 39th out of 275 people in 42:57. I am happy with my time, as it was in a very hilly wood. I did do the first 5km in exactly 20 minutes but then the hills came. My Dad, Sister and Brother-in-Law did it too.
Ian Cunningham completed this 15km trail race, which is part of Lakeland Trails series. As can be seen from the elevation profile below, it looked like a race of roughly two halves. Well done, Ian!

Andy Wilkinson was first finisher again at Coventry – that’s two 1st places in his last three parkruns!
Ian Cunningham ran Keswick parkrun for the fist time.
A bumper parkrun Saturday with many first-timers and 1 PB.
