Widnes Running Club Weekly Roundup - we 11th May 2 Widnes Running Club Weekly Roundup - we 11th May 25

Apologies for the lateness of this post - no excuses, I’m just lazy x

Sunday 11th May - our very own Man in Black Ryan Black completed 30 gruelling miles and 5000 ft of elevation at The Apocalypse Ultra. Great work x

Two club mates had a great day out in Leeds. Alex (Joe Cool) Smith excelled at the Half Marathon. Whilst Claire (Haway The Lass) Skea took on and conquered the marathon.

Hot footing it to sunny Wales and taking on the Snowdonia Half Marathon was our very own Jule in the crown Julie Reed. She’s mad she’s bad and her husbands a handsome lad ! Well done Julie x

Oh yeh and there was the 2nd running of the club race “the Chris Lam Memorial 5 Miler”. No club mates ran the race but many many volunteered and showed the true ethos of the club by being the most enthusiastic and supportive marshals the world has ever seen. Well done to all the volunteers and the race committee team who have made this race the best in the North West x

It was a perfect morning for our 2nd Chris Lam Mem It was a perfect morning for our 2nd Chris Lam Memorial 5 Mile Race!

Runners enjoyed a beautiful run in the sun and we’ve already had some great feedback. Here’s what some of the participants had to say.

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped us to support @andysmanclubuk
We’re starting this week’s parkrun roundup at We’re starting this week’s parkrun roundup at home in Widnes where we had a great turnout of runners and volunteers and Paul broke the 23 minute barrier recording a new PB of 22:57. Congratulations Paul!
Next it’s over to Wales where a group of our members completed Park in the Past which was a brand new parkrun last week, we’re looking forward to hearing what this one was like.
Tania ran a super hilly, lung-busting course at Queen Elizabeth to get her Q for the alphabet challenge.
Tracy ran at Chester and then helped with barcode scanning before heading off to work.
Christine braved the hills of Sutton Manor and was 4th female to finish and 1st in her age category. Well done Christine!
Grace completed Fletcher Moss which she said was very dusty but she got her F for the alphabet challenge.
Back to Wales for Greenfield Valley, this week’s venue for keen tourists Colin, Liz and Hayley. We hear a rumour that their run was followed by massive cakes!
Matt finally made it to Oldham, a venue he’s been avoiding. He’s now discovered it’s a beautiful park but he was less appreciative of the 3 hills.
Roy’s currently the walking wounded so instead of running he volunteered as tailwalker at Y Promenad in beautiful Barmouth.
Jan & Paul are still in Japan and completed their 3rd parkrun there at Futakotamagawa. On a very wet day they had to contend with 2 missed trains and a mad taxi dash but they made it!
Last of our photos this week sees Paula, Gill, Penny, Neil, Mark, Rob Eve and their 4-legged friend Olive after enjoying a lovely sunny run at Knowsley.
We also had runners today at Brickfields, Ellesmere Port, Flagg High, Peel, South Manchester, Warrington and Wollaton Hall.
Well done to all our runners and volunteers.

Widnes Running Club Weekly Roundup - we 4th May 25 Widnes Running Club Weekly Roundup - we 4th May 25

For all the nerds - May the 4th be with you ! You know who you are (Neil MacD) x

Just like the bins go out a day later after a Bank Holiday so does this week’s roundup 

Saturday - The Pennine Barrier Ultra - Ryan (Back In) Black, Marc (Mad Dog) Maddock and Adam (He’s Handsome) Hampson all had nothing better to do so thought running 50+ miles across the Pennines was a good way to spend the day. Ryan and Marc completed in style (the wild animals are still feasting on Ryan’s puke), but unfortunately Adam picked up an injury at mile 30 ! (Yikes) and has vowed to return next year (somebody stop him) x

Sunday - the Chorley 10k Race which proved to be a hilly one was completed by Mike (Colonel) Parker, Will (I Am) Kozer, Steph (Mother of Luke Humphries world class darts player) Humphries, Peter (The Great) Speakman, David (Zowie Bowie) Jones, Jonathan (Kiss me) Hardy and Linsey (everyone’s favourite Jones) Jones. Well done all and great to see Linsey powering through her first 10k x

Lastly, hold the press, everyone’s favourite married couple Capt Carl and Lady Stacey Barnes completed the Gear 10K in Kings Lynn x

Well done to all our runners x

A special parkrun update from Japan this week. Gr A special parkrun update from Japan this week.

Greenery Day is observed on May 4th every year in Japan. The national holiday encourages people to commune with nature to express their gratitude and appreciation for its benefits.

It’s also the day when Japanese parkruns are able to put on an extra event so it was 2 parkruns in 2 days for our members Jan and Paul as they completed Yodogawa kasenkoen Hirakata chiku yesterday and Heijo kyuseki Rekishi koen today.
