Oodles of Sphinx AC runners took part in far-flung ParkRun events this weekend. Cooler conditions at Coventry probably helped three of our runners get smashing new PBs on a slightly long course. The Foxalls went to see the balloons in the south-west and all ran with Chris’s sister and her husband. Fiona Quinn sneaks a cheeky ParkRun in whilst in Cheam on a strictly cultural visit and junior Annie Cox is our sole representative at Leamington.

Nine Sphinx AC runners participated in this novelty event, racing against various types of bicycles on the closed-to-traffic inner loop of Coventry Ring Road. The course was 2.1 miles and pitted runners against quite a variety of pedal-powered vehicles. Amongst them were a Sinclair C5, vintage racing bikes, delivery bikes (with wicker baskets), an ice-cream bike, penny farthings etc. Whilst the conditions were good on the day, the ring road isn’t as flat as you may think!
