Parkrun Junior 2K
The Jubilee 2K Parkrun of 20th August was the “Nominated” event in the 2023 Junior Running Championships, but the lack of sufficient volunteers meant this event had to be cancelled. As a result, BRJ Juniors ventured to 3 other local Junior Parkrun venues, thus the results summarised below include the Age / Gender scores that will count towards the 2023 competition.
Cambourne #96 – Jack Scott secured the runners-up position in a time of 00:08:13 & scoring 75.80% towards the Club Running Champs.
Riverside #134 – Hannah Lasseter finished in 9th position in a time of 00:10:55 scoring 60.08%.
West End Junior #98 – Isaac Friswell, in his Debut Club 2K, finished in the runners-up position in 00:08:35 scoring 65.20%.
For your diaries, the next Junior Running Champs is the BRJ Track based 2K taking place on the 20th September.
