A good Langport Runner turnout at Montacute's "Evens" pacer event. Mike and I were amongst the 9 pacers. Both of us were happy with being within a few seconds off our targets. Steve Small kept Mike company. Curious how they finished with the same time, are in the same male age category, but Steve pipped Mike on the percentage front? All the pacers were pretty accurate with their timings. Janet Pollard nailed her 36 minutes target.

Kyle finished 5th out of the 333 runners; Liz topped our table hitting over 70% on her 90th Parkrun; and Kate ran a new PB by 34 seconds. Impressive in the humidity.

Over at Street's 4th event, they attracted 119 runners. Four Langport Runners, two PBs: Karen has now run all 4 Street Parkruns, achieving a PB each week and knocked another 34 seconds off; and Steven Driscoll a huge 2 minutes. A new course record of 17:08 was set. Wendy, first time on the stats, but knocked over 4 minutes off the trial run.

Dennis ran again at Burnham with 318 on the course this week.

Don't forget Shepton's 3rd Anniversary Parkrun coming up on 16th June. Fancy dress is optional (no theme given yet) and there will celebratory cakes.
