BOLTON PARKRUN: Report and results from Saturday's event

The JM11-14 age-category runner has chalked up a huge number of Bolton parkrun appearances for one so young.

And with four personal best times in his last four runs he is in the form of his life.

His time of 27mins 29secs around the 5k course was a sizeable 18 seconds faster than he recorded the previous week and good enough to give him 106th position at the finish line.

And in the previous two weeks he lopped off a big 34 and 21 seconds, respectively.

At the head of the field on Saturday, Bolton United Harrier Shay Walker was first home in 18:15 with first-timer Tom Grundy second and 18-19 age-group runner Matthew Smith third in 20:14, his joint highest finishing position on his 86th appearance.

Simon Wood was the highest finisher to achieve a PB, completing the challenging course around the track, trails and paths of Leverhulme Park in fifth position in 20:40.

The 40-44 age-category runner has done eight runs at Bolton and kept up his record of achieving a PB on every alternate appearance.

His time has come down dramatically from 25:38 on his first appearance on New Year's Day this year and Saturday's time was 21 seconds faster than his previous best.

John McCawley is in a rich vein of form with three PBs in his last four appearances at Bolton.

Saturday's 22:14 was 19 seconds faster than the PB the 35-39 age-category runner set on his previous appearance last month and saw him cross the line in 21st position.

Steven Livesey was nine places behind him as he set his first PB since his second appearance at Bolton.

The 45-49 age-group runner, who has done 12 runs at Bolton, clocked 23:09, 10 seconds faster than the PB he has held since January 2015.
