Bolton parkrun report and results from Saturday's event

He was one of 13 doing their very first parkrun anywhere with another nine being first-timers to Bolton.

A massive 41 personal bests were recorded, including five of the top 20 finishers.

Of those completing more than 20 runs at Bolton, Mark Jackson of Burnden Road Runners claimed his 11th PB of the year, slashing a massive 31 seconds off his previous best set on August 13 and putting him in sight of his first sub 21-minute run.

Stephen Horsman recorded an impressive fourth PB in his last eight runs, and junior Lewis Hodgson smashed his best time to celebrate his 80th run at Bolton and 83rd overall.

There was a first PB in nearly six months for David Smith, and junior Ethan Wallace took 24 seconds off his previous time with his seventh PB of the year.

David Allen of Darwen Dashers broke 24 minutes for the first time, just under a year since his last PB, while Jonathon Lilliott set his 10th PB of the year, his first since May, taking 16 seconds off it and going under 25 minutes.

One second behind was Andrew Dunn with his best time of 25.51, his first sub 26-minute run, Gary Larke achieved his third PB since celebrating his 50th run at the end of July, and Paul Reid equalled his best time.

Helen Bury and Lucille Corrigan both ran their 100th parkruns, the former having in the past taken on the course in her wedding outfit, while heavily pregnant and with a pram.

In 10th place on Saturday was Dave Clamp, who recently did an astonishing 20 Ironman events in 20 days.

Parkrun had three pacers on Saturday, Andy Henderson, Gareth Doherty and Paul Duke aiming for 24, 26 and 28 minutes, respectively.

A total of 64 runners came in between the first and last pacer which suggests it is a good split time to aim for.

The volunteer roster was a little sparse this week and people are reminded to email boltonhelpers@parkrun.com if they can help out at any future Bolton parkrun.

The volunteer list was not the only thing below average this week, with 251 runners being 33 shy of the 2016 average.

Overall the event continues to grow, however, with 284 runners on average through 2016.
