Incumbent course record holder Daniel Agustus turned up again on Saturday to run a new nine-second PB to lower the Richmond parkrun bar yet further.

In the process, Daniel lays claim to not only being the only runner with a sub-16 minute time on the course, but also to have run it twice in that time.

In the race for the rest of the field, first timer Matthew Donnery of Epsom Oddballs came in second in a very respectable 16:57 nearly a minute ahead of Steven Barber of Sutton Runners in 17:49.

In the ladies' race, there seems to be a degree of collusion in the West 4 ranks to ensure that one of their top runners makes it out on Saturday morning.

This week was the turn of Louise Bottomley to ensure another West 4 title in the Richmond parkrun non-existent trophy cabinet.

Louise came home over a minute ahead of second placed Lauren Major in 20:53 which takes her clear of rival West 4 runner, Rachel Badham, with 5 wins to her name.

However, 5 wins makes her only the 4th most successful West 4 lady, some 21 wins behind leading West 4 lady, Anna Critchlow. In the non-West 4 race, unattached Lauren Major won in 21:57, just taking Julie Major by 1 second.

In the age graded race, race leader Daniel Agustus recorded a performance of 81.47% to take the top spot ahead of junior runner, James Murdoch (Thames Valley Harriers) with 80.04% and Highgate Harriers’ Chris Bailey in third with 78.12%.

In the points competition Stephen INSTONE has a lead of 374 points over second placed Duncan Ian BROWN. Alison DICKS leads Amanda BIRKINSHAW by 128 in the ladies competition.

This week there were 27 first timers.

25 runners recorded PBs, bringing the total number since the Richmond Park started to 2347. In this time, 2389 runners from 127 different clubs have completed the race 9247 times covering a distance of 46235 kilometers.
