Inverclyde Now Logo GREENOCK Parkrunners Face Wind, Rain, Sleet And Hail Stones

11 March, 2019 | Local

DREICH March conditions failed to deter 113 parkrunners at Greenock.

Paul Monaghan was first home in 17.28 closely followed by the ever-consistent Alan Callan and Ross McClement.

First lady home was Abi Hammerman in 20.24 ahead of fellow junior runners Iris Paterson and Ava Beaton.

Despite wind, rain, sleet and hail stones, 11 people managed to improve their times over the five-kilometre Esplanade course.

A 40-year age gap didn’t stop young Connor Campbell and Niall Brennan finishing together to both score personal bests (PBs) with young Connor chopping more than two minutes off his previous best, a feat also achieved by fellow junior Kirsten Campbell.

Gillian Clark, pictured, came along with her family and earned a PB running alongside her dad Stewart. Lorna Mitchell, Mary Paterson, Alexander Donald, Lynsey McAlees, Steven Kerr, Jodie Nelson and Kevin McFadden also reduced their times.

Parkrunners have now run a total of 104,740 kilometres at Greenock parkrun since the weekly event began in May 2014.
