Keith Gordon breaks parkrun category record

Penistone runner Keith Gordon set a new record in the over75 category at Epworth Equestrian parkrun with a time of 27-33, finishing 76th in a field of 212 runners. Other parkrun events saw Penistone’s James Mumford win at Sheffield Castle parkrun in a new personal best time of 18-04, while there were also second places for Andy Heppenstall at Penistone and James Fryers at Frickley.

Penistone runners were busy on the fell scene again, with six runners making the short journey to Holmfirth to take part in the Denis Stitt Memorial fell race, a tough two lap course involving over 1200ft of climbing. First back for Penistone was George Parr in fifth place, also finishing first in the under21 category. Jon Hallam was third in the over45 category, while Martyn Goodwin was third over60.
