Thanks to all of you who joined us at the mob match last Saturday. Here is a quick run down of how it went…
Like last year, the final match of the competition was at Lloyd parkrun, known for its difficulty, but luckily for us the conditions were good enough that trainers were sufficient and the ‘slippery mud’ sign was quickly taken down.
The first lap was tense, even within the team, with Kirsty, Scott and Darren all exchanging positions with one another, and in the second lap it was a very close finish for Scott and Darren, with Darren overtaking with about 10 yards left 😱
Well done to the Lui family who have become regular parkrunners over the past year – and each managed to achieve a new pb at the mob match. Special congratulations to Tao in particular who succeeded in breaking 30 minutes for the first time👏
We don’t know the official results re points/positions yet, but we had 7 runners, which means at least 7 points, and we have high hopes that some of the team made the podiums so fingers crossed we will have maintained our place in the leaderboard🤞
This was the last mob match of 2024 but don’t worry there are still parkruns happening every Saturday across the UK and beyond! Feel free to join us at one if you are around – usually there are members of the team at Roundshaw Downs
We will let you know more about the next match in due course – usually the first match of the year is a ‘national’ mob match, where you can take part at whichever parkrun you like. We find that it is most fun if the team all goes to the same one so if you have any suggestions for where we should pick then please do drop us a message
