Tony Valentine maintains remarkable winning record at Bolton parkrun

The Bolton United Harrier – who is the fourth fastest man ever to appear at Bolton – was first home for the 15th time in his 16 appearances.

He appeared for the first time in April 2012 and ran his best time of 16mins 19secs two months later.

He was a little slower on Saturday – clocking 17:27 – not helped by the heavy rain which chose almost the exact moment parkrun started to come down and saturate the 246 runners.

Only one other male runner has had more first place finishes at Bolton than Valentine who finished third on the only occasion he was not first.

Another runner clocked up 50 completions of the 5k Leverhulme Park course in the form of Jamie Rollon who has run 44 of his half century times at Bolton.

Second home on Saturday was David Jackson with Christopher Povey next to finish, while their female counterparts were Jacqui Taylor, Lesley Fisher and Anna Bloomfield.

There were 23 first timers, 39 recorded personal best times and representatives of 22 different athletics clubs took part.
