\n3 BRJ Juniors participated at 2 different venues:-<\/p>\n
Cambourne – Finley Harrison secured the runners up position just outside his current Club 2K PB.<\/p>\n
Jubilee Park – Ewan Mackie finished in 8th position ahead of Olivia Caruana.<\/p>\n
Parkrun 5K<\/strong> Jane & Tony Farrow made BRJ Venue Debuts at Portsmouth Lakeside.<\/p>\n A very muddy Huntingdon saw Emily Miller finish as 1st lady overall & 3 BRJ”ers completing Parkrun milestones namely Paul Treadwell (#175), Jim Greenley (275) & Phil Pearsons (525).<\/p>\n Finally, a belated result from 1 February where Ella Wakeley secured a 5 Sec Club 5K PB at Storey’s Field Parkrun #176 compared to her previous PB at Bug Hunter Waters #29.<\/p>\n Zig Zag 1 Mile to Go<\/strong> Zig Zag Run 4 Cake<\/strong> Cattle Creep 10M<\/strong> In common with a number of race events over this weekend, the hilly course was very muddy in places. For those interested, the name of this race reflects a narrow bridge on the course route where the participants pass under the Grand Union Canal.<\/p>\n Frostbite Friendly League (Race #5)<\/strong> Fortunately, race hosts Hunts AC were able to re-schedule the “missing” event but this could only be accommodated just 1 week after the previous Frostbite at Bawsey Country Park. Notwithstanding the very short notice, the good news was that BRJ fielded a good attendance thus producing the sufficient number & mix of Male \/ Female finishers to record team scores in both the Junior & Senior events.<\/p>\n The “less than good” news was that following the previous weeks Zig Zag races & the Parkrun the previous day conditions underfoot were somewhat challenging in places & so for safety reasons, Hunts AC made a slight adjustment to the usual course route dating back to 2008, but the overall race distances remained unchanged.<\/p>\n The full suite of results from race 5 can be found on the Frostbite Friendly League website.<\/p>\n Junior<\/strong> The 5 Team Scorers (in finish order) were Joey Phillips (7th), Ethan Ward (11th), Jack Scott (12th), Freya Brosnan (91st) & Amy Lasseter (11th).<\/p>\n The Junior stats were:-<\/p>\n PB at Venue Debut at Venue BRJ Juniors had their best team finish of the 2024\/2025 series so far by finishing in 5th position from the 14 teams & remain in 12th place overall going into the final race being hosted by BRJ on the 2nd March at Jubilee Park.
